1843 Half Eagle, MS64
None Finer at PCGS

1843 $5 MS64 PCGS. The reverse die is interesting, showing nearly every vertical shield line extending upward through most or all of the horizontals. While we haven't conducted a detailed variety study, we find several similar examples in our auction archives while also noting die differences among those coins. Most surviving Mint State 1843 half eagles grade MS60 to MS63. This Choice Mint State half eagle is tied with four others for the finest that PCGS has certified with just one numerically finer example graded MS65 NGC (7/23). Boldly defined throughout, this lovely example has brilliant and frosty light yellow luster with excellent eye appeal. This is an important opportunity for the advanced collector to obtain an exceptional example of this issue that has few peers.(Registry values: P5)
