- 1848-C Liberty Half Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (11-E), the only known dies. MS-60 (PCGS). Highly lustrous prooflike surfaces with an impressively strong strike for the date. Some scattered marks present, most noticeably a small scuff at 4:00 in the obverse field which would serve to identify this coin in the future. However, considering the rarity of this date in mint state, there are few pieces confuse it with. Still a nice coin despite a few tiny blemishes that would probably go unnoticed save for the reflectivity of the fields. Fine die finishing lines are seen in the fields on both sides. From a mintage of 16,788 pieces that did good service in circulation for the most part, as the usually encountered specimen is Very Fine to Extremely Fine. As mentioned above, mint state coins are very rare and Doug Winter estimates that only two to four pieces are truly worthy of that grade level.<br />
