- 1840-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. W-2. VF-35 (PCGS). CAC. Attractive honey-gold surfaces display tinges of olive and reddish-rose. Boldly defined for the grade with a typical quality of strike for the issue that is soft at the central high points, yet sharp elsewhere. The 1840-C is a rare and very underrated half eagle that is seldom seen in grades above EF. It is decidedly more rare in all grades than the 1839-C and the 1841-C to which it is typically compared. Doug Winter (2008) accounts for just four or five distinct and truly Mint State survivors, which places extreme collector pressure on fully original and attractive circulated coins. Advanced gold enthusiasts would do well to take full advantage of this important offering. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
