Description

1840-C Five Dollar, MS60
Conditionally Rare in Uncirculated

1840-C $5 MS60 NGC. Variety 1. A die crack travels through the I in AMERICA to the arrowheads and the eagle's right (facing) wing. The 1840-C is the first Charlotte Mint Liberty Head half eagle issue with the traditional reverse mintmark placement and the modified portrait. Of the 18,992 coins struck, only 125 to 150 are thought to survive, according to Doug Winter, with perhaps half a dozen in Mint State (the certification totals appear to be significantly inflated). This unworn representative in MS60 exhibits strong relief elements with only the slightest bit of incompleteness over the middle curls and the eagle's neck. Partial luster remains.(Registry values: P5)
