<B>1843-C $5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Variety 6-C, the only known variety. The 1843-C half eagle is a rare date in Mint State grades. The NGC/PCGS population figures show slightly over 20 Uncirculated specimens, though a number are likely resubmissions.<BR> This MS62 coin is a well produced example (by Charlotte Mint standards), with both sides displaying full definition everywhere except on the eagle's neck and leg feathers. The color is a pleasing peach-gold shade, and the partially prooflike fields yield mild contrast with the motifs. There are remarkably few sizeable abrasions for both the issue (which is typically heavily abraded)and the grade. The Charlotte Mint enthusiast should give serious consideration to this lovely example. Census: 2 in 62, 3 finer (11/07). <BR><I>From The Waxhaw Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
