Condition Rarity 1843-C Half Eagle The Sole Finest at CAC 1843-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Far superior to the typical Mint State survivor of this conditionally challenging issue. Both sides of this beautiful coin exhibit subtle pinkish-rose highlights to dominant bright orange-gold color. The luster is thick and frosty, an attribute for which this unusually well produced C-Mint half eagle issue is known. The 1843-C also tends to come with an above average strike by the standards of the issuing mint, and this coin does not disappoint in this regard, either. A touch of softness in the centers aside, the detail is razor sharp to full in most areas. Exceptionally smooth for the assigned grade, and worthy of its distinction as the highest graded 1843-C $5 to have met with strict CAC approval. This issue has a mintage of 44,277 pieces and, like all Charlotte Mint gold coins, suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation. Most survivors grade VF or low end EF. Even in About Uncirculated the 1843-C is rare, while in Mint State Doug Winter accounts for only nine or 10 distinct examples in his 2008 reference on Charlotte Mint gold coinage. A highlight of this special offering from the Fairmont Collection, and just right for another world class numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
