Liberty Head Half Eagle

1854-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.

Attractive honey-orange surfaces reveal tinges of pale pink as the coin rotates under a light. Most of the major deign elements are at least boldly defined, and both sides offer a good degree of detail for a circulated survivor of this challenging issue. An underrated issue, the 1854-C is one of the scarcer Charlotte Mint half eagles from the 1850s. Winter-1, offered here, is the variety that displays a universally bold C mintmark, as opposed to Winter-2 coins, which are sometimes certified as a Weak C. This attractively original Choice EF coin offers superior quality and eye appeal for an issue that is typically offered well worn, if not also impaired.

PCGS# 8257. NGC ID: 25UH.
