The Winter Plate 1843-C Half Eagle

1843-C $5 MS62 NGC. In 1843, the mintage of Charlotte Mint half eagles increased substantially to 44,201 coins, up from previous years, yet the rarity remained in the vicinity of earlier years with much lower mintages. This is a very scarce issue in high grades, and the present example is one of the five or six finest examples; one of a similar number of Mint State coins recorded by Winter. This is the plate coin in the revised edition of his reference. This is a beautiful example that is sharply struck and has brilliant greenish-gold color with satiny luster. The surfaces have a few light abrasions, yet are far finer than usual for this issue. This is from the perfect early die state of the variety.
