1841-C Five Dollar, MS61
Only Five Finer

1841-C $5 MS61 PCGS. Winter 1. The 1841 issue of half eagles is among the more accessible dates for Charlotte Mint pieces, but most remain in lower grades and finding a Mint State example is exceptionally more difficult. This piece displays remarkably rich tawny-gold luster surrounded by encroaching smokey patina which wafts into the reflective fields. There are some minor abrasions, though they are largely negligible with an exception above the eagle's crown. The strike is immensely appealing with exceptional depth throughout Liberty's hair, eagle's plumage, and along the first stars. Between both PCGS and NGC only eight examples have been reported in MS61 with only five seen numerically finer than the present coin (4/26). This Charlotte Mint piece will be a scarce opportunity for Registry collectors as we have only had the opportunity to offer three (including the present coin) so fine in 12 years.
