<B>1840-C $5 AU55 PCGS.</B></I> Variety 2-B, Die State I, lacking the die crack through I in AMERICA. The 1840-C is one of the least available Charlotte half eagles. Douglas Winter (1998) writes that: "This date is very rare in about Uncirculated and is an extreme rarity in full Mint State ... " The Choice AU coin offered in this lot retains luster in the protected areas of the bright yellow-gold surfaces, and some localized minor softness occurs in portions of Liberty's hair and the eagle's leg feathers. An even distribution of light contact marks is seen on both sides. Population: 5 in 55, 4 finer (4/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
