Check Out Over 2,700 U.S. Coin Internet Only Lots in our 2025 Global Showcase Auction

Our Summer 2025 Global Showcase Auction is well underway but please keep in mind that it is far from over. We still have thousands of lots to be sold next week. There is plenty of exciting material presented among the over 2,700 U.S. coin lots in our Internet Only Sessions.

One lot that caught my attention is lot 9192 in Session 13: U.S. Coins Part 3. It is a highly scarce and desirable 1839-C half eagle. This VG coin is an wholesome example of its grade and although worn, maintains much detail and originality. It also possesses provenance dating back to Mayflower Coins’ June 1966 auction. The mintage for this coin was just 17,205 pieces, of which only hundreds are estimated to exist today. It is one of the scarcest Charlotte Mint half eagles and is especially eagerly sought by specialists as the first Liberty Head issue from this Southern mint and the only one to display the C mintmark on the obverse above the date. Liberty’s portrait also has a different design on half eagles of this date than on coins dated 1840 and later. This issue ranks within the top 10 for rarity in the Charlotte Mint half eagle series (per Doug Winter, Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861, 2008), and survivors are particularly elusive in with original surfaces in numerical grade holders. The present example provides an incredible opportunity for collectors to economically acquire such a rare C-Mint half eagle.
