- 1855-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. Die State I. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC.
Well balanced EF quality with warm, blended honey-olive and warm rose patina to both sides. Central detail is particularly bold with some sharper definition noted for the finer elements of Liberty's portrait and the eagle's wings. Gold coins struck at the mint in Charlotte, North Carolina have long held a fascination to numismatists. Seldom struck in huge numbers and overall quite scarce, most saw extensive regional use and were only rarely preserved for posterity. This was certainly the case with the nearly 40,000 half eagles struck there in 1855: once they entered circulation, that is where they remained. This is an aesthetically pleasing survivor for the grade that will fit comfortably into a Southern gold collection or mintmarked type set.
PCGS# 8262. NGC ID: 25UR.
