Owner Comments:

CAC, OGH, HM-2, R-5. The 1838-C is the rarest coin in the Classic Head Half Eagle series and this variety is the scarcer variety of the date. This example is a “crusty old soldier” which exhibits great khaki-gold color and original dirt in the recessed areas. It has a die crack which bisects the reverse, running from 2 o’clock to 8 o’clock. It is a lovely example of this date. Purchased from Crescent City Numismatics.
