Liberty Half Eagles
1847-C $5 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1847-C is a fairly plentiful Charlotte issue overall, boasting a survival of 300 to 400 pieces from a mintage exceeding 84,000. However, in Mint State, the date is a great rarity. PCGS records only 10 Uncirculated submissions, mostly of coins with heavy abrasions. The present example grades "only" MS62, but surface abrasions are unusually unobtrusive for the grade, showing up prominently only under magnification. This satiny, yellow-gold 1847-C five displays a sharp strike and excellent visual appeal. It resides in the upper range of Mint State survivors, with few peers and comparably few superiors. Population: 2 in 62, 3 finer (10/16).
