Description

1843-C Half Eagle, Fine 12
Well-Preserved and Original, CAC

1843-C $5 Fine 12 PCGS. CAC. Winter-2. The Charlotte branch mint struck 44,277 half eagles in 1843, but typical circulation has left the issue with only 16 Mint State examples at PCGS (11/25). This Fine example has original green-gold patina complemented with delightful hues of apricot and lilac in the recesses and protected areas. The design elements are clearly outlined with grade-consistent wear. Remarkably, this CAC-endorsed piece has eluded any significant abrasions and only exhibits light, blended marks.(Registry values: P4)
