- 1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
Of the utmost significance to quality conscious Southern gold enthusiasts, this is a wonderfully original 1850-C $5 bathed in a bold blend of deep honey-olive and lighter golden-apricot colors. Frosty to semi-reflective in finish, with only trivial rub noted. Charlotte Mint half eagle production remained relatively high going into the 1850s; the first issue of that decade had a mintage of 63,951 pieces. The 1850-C is one of the more available dates in this Southern gold series, and examples in VF and EF are ideal for inclusion in a mintmarked gold type set. With no contemporary numismatic interest in these coins, however, the rigors of commerce claimed most with the result that survivors at or near the Mint State threshold are rare. This piece is among the finer known to PCGS, and would do justice to an advanced gold cabinet.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
