Lot 731
Half Eagle. 1844-C. NGC graded AU-58. Boldly struck with much more detail on the eagle's legs than usual. Lustrous with just a hint of faint rubbing and a scattering of light contact marks in the unprotected fields on both sides. Prohibitively rare above EF. Pop. of only 1 with 3 higher.
Interestingly, the minting this year was interrupted because a burglar burned down the Mint, July 27, 1844 and was not rebuilt until 1846.
