Select 1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle
Rare in MS63, Interesting Die Crack

1843 $5 MS63 PCGS. From a mintage of 611,205 pieces, the 1843 Liberty Head half eagle is an available date in circulated grades, and Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth estimate a surviving Mint State population of 50-75 pieces. Though only moderately rare in lower Uncirculated grades, the 1843 half eagle is decidedly rare in Select condition. The present coin is a visual treat, with bright reddish-gold surfaces and abundant mint luster. The striking details are sharp throughout, and an interesting die crack bisects the reverse from above the second T in STATES, through the eagle, and down through the V in FIVE. Population: 5 in 63, 3 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P5)
