Description
1857-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.
This wonderfully original, uncommonly well preserved example is awash in warm olive-orange color. The luster is nearly full and frosty in texture with subtle semi-reflectivity evident in the fields. Striking detail is sharp to complete over virtually all design features. Minimally marked for the grade, and just right for another world class Liberty Head or Southern gold cabinet. The 1857-C is widely regarded as one of the more readily obtainable Charlotte Mint half eagles, a mintage of 31,360 pieces helping considerably in this regard. Like all issues from this coinage facility, however, well worn coins in VF and EF are the norm. About Uncirculated survivors are scarce, especially with original, premium quality surfaces offered here. Highly appealing.
PCGS# 8272. NGC ID: 25V3.
CAC Population: 16 in all AU grades.
From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
