1843 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58. (PCGS). CAC. Frosty surfaces are faintly semi-prooflike in the fields. Near-fully lustrous with razor sharp striking detail and displaying richly original golden-apricot color with a tinge of pale olive. Trailing only the 1847, the 1843 is the most frequently encountered half eagle from its decade. A mintage of 611,205 circulation strikes is a record for the Liberty Head series up to that point in time. While circulated survivors are plentiful in the context of the era, few approach the Mint State threshold. Here, then, is a significant bidding opportunity for the better date gold type collector or advanced Liberty Head half eagle enthusiast. PCGS# 8213. NGC ID: 25T2. From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
