- 1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
This is an exceptionally well preserved and attractive Charlotte Mint gold coin irrespective of denomination or date. Both sides are wonderfully original in preservation, the surfaces bathed in warm, even, deep honey-gold patina. Softness of strike is minimal by the standards of the issuing mint, confined essentially to the eagle's left leg on the reverse and the hair curls over Liberty's brow on the obverse. Lustrous and free of significant blemishes, this coin is sure to sell for a strong premium. Thanks in no small part to a relatively generous mintage of 63,591 pieces, the 1850-C is one of the more readily obtainable Charlotte Mint half eagles. Even so, survivors with the quality and eye appeal offered here are rare in today's market.
