- 1843-O Liberty Head Half Eagle. Large Letters. Winter-1, the only known dies. Late Die State. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.
Medium golden-honey color greets the viewer from both sides of this lustrous, frosty AU example. Well struck overall, where allowed by die state, although the hair curls along Liberty's brow are a bit blunt. Smooth for the grade with a lovely appearance that is sure to please. Mintage for this variety of the 1843-O half eagle is believed to be 82,000 coins, versus just under 20,000 pieces for the scarcer Small Letters variety. The Large Letters type is most often found in grades of EF and lower, making the present offering of a problem free and attractive Choice AU a significant opportunity for Liberty Head gold specialists. Struck from a late reverse die state with extensive peripheral cracks and several design elements weakened due to excessive repolishing of the die, especially the letters IC in AMERICA and the feathers around the eagle's right talon.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
CAC Population: 13 in all AU grades.
PCGS# 8216. NGC ID: 25T6.
