Description

1855-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. Die State I. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.

This charming honey-orange and olive-gold example offers undeniable originality and exceptional eye appeal for a lightly circulated C-Mint half eagle. Softly frosted surfaces are lustrous for the grade with sharp striking detail to virtually all features. The 1855-C is a median rarity in the Charlotte Mint five-dollar gold series in terms of total number of coins believed extant. Well worn and/or impaired coins are the norm among survivors from a mintage of 39,789 pieces. This aesthetically appealing, problem free AU represents an important bidding opportunity for advanced Southern gold collectors.

PCGS# 8262. NGC ID: 25UR.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
