Lot 1493
1842-C. Small date. NGC VF Details, improperly cleaned. Nice antique rose color golden toning about the borders on both sides. This rare coin deserves an actual grade. Only 4,595 minted of which merely 100 examples are estimated to have survived. This is considered the rarest of all Charlotte Mint half eagles, according to Doug Winter and others. In fact, Winter described this issue as "the rarest collectible coin from Charlotte." (Most specimens seen have an obverse rim break from stars 6 to 8; this is from an early state of the dies before the break occurred.) (PCGS # 8208) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
The William H & Beuelaress K. Helem Collection.
