1844 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. A fully impressed, razor sharp example that also sports bright frosty luster. Pleasing honey-apricot color overall with impressively smooth surfaces for the assigned grade. One of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint half eagles from the 1840s, the 1844 is seen less often than the 1843 or 1847. As with all early date Liberty Head half eagles the 1844 is highly elusive in Mint State, and the present example is among the finer seen by both PCGS and CAC. A find for the better date type collector or advanced Liberty Head half eagle enthusiast. PCGS# 8219. NGC ID: 25T7. PCGS Population: 11; 24 finer (MS-65 finest).<p>CAC Population: 12 in all Mint State grades. From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
