Description

Select Quality 1843-C Half Eagle

1843-C $5 MS63 NGC. Half eagles from 1839 through 1842 had Small Letters on the reverse. In 1843, the Dahlonega Mint coins and most of the New Orleans Mint issue had Large Letters on the reverse. This 1843-C issue, however, was from a Small Letters reverse die. This is a sharply struck example of the issue, one of two Mint State '43-C half eagles offered for sale. The surfaces have lovely greenish-gold coloration, with fully prooflike fields. This is the second die state listed by Winter, with a light crack from the tip of the eagle's left wing (right-hand) to the border at 2 o'clock. The surfaces have diagonal striae as produced, in addition to faint lines and abrasions.(#8214) (Registry values: P4)
