- 1860-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This issue is always found with more or less indistinct details on the eagle, not from a lack of striking pressure, but rather from use of a faulty reverse die that caused the same problem in 1859. On the offered coin, however, the overall strike is quite well executed with the obverse fully defined in most areas and the eagle displaying uncommon sharpness throughout its plumage. Pretty deep pinkish-honey color supports thick mint luster in a frosty, slightly granular texture. With the third lowest mintage among Charlotte half eagles (14,813 pieces), the 1860-C has always been a favorite of Southern gold collectors. Few will have the opportunity to obtain an example as nice of this, for the issue is a noteworthy condition rarity in grades that approach Mint State, especially where CAC approval is required. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 16; 12 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 2; 2. PCGS# 8285. NGC ID: 25VG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
