Lot 2279
1842-C $5 Liberty. Large date. NGC graded MS-62. The half eagles of the 1840s are characterized by having broad square rims. Well struck with lovely golden toning. A beautiful, frosty-gold half eagle of this scarce Mint, there are no unsettling bagmarks on either side. Furthermore, the fields are lustrous throughout, and the same applies for the bold devices, with only a stray mark visible at the 12th star and a shallow mark on the eagle's neck feathers. The collector of Charlotte gold would be well advised to bid generously on this coin as another Mint State example may not be on the market for many years since so few have been certified (and may be locked away in large collections). Pop 1; 4 finer; 1 in 63; 2 in 64; 1 in 65. (PCGS # 8209) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.
