Liberty Half Eagles
1844-C $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. Doug Winter writes: "The 1844-C is among the scarcest half eagles from this mint." Although the mintage was a moderate 23,631 coins, extensive circulation stunted this issue's survival rate. It is estimated that fewer than 175 pieces survive in all grades. This Choice AU example displays impressively sharp detail and original orange-gold coloration with hints of luster in the peripheral fields. Scattered light marks are hardly distracting. Census: 11 in 55, 14 finer (6/17).
