1843-D Liberty Head Half Eagle, MS63
Medium D

1843-D $5 Medium D MS63 PCGS. Variety 10-H. The 1843-D Liberty Head half eagle is one of the most available D-Mint dates of the series and enjoys great demand as a type coin. From an original mintage of 98,452 pieces, Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 225-250 examples in all grades. The issue is rare in any Mint State grade and prohibitively rare above MS63. To date, NGC has certified five coins at the Select level, with one finer; while PCGS has graded only four coins in MS63, with one finer (11/09).
The present coin is a solid candidate for Condition Census, as only two coins have been certified in higher technical grades. This example is fully struck, with bright mint luster and pleasing yellow-gold color. The only noticeable mark is a small diagonal abrasion above the eagle's head. Overall eye appeal is outstanding.(Registry values: P2)
