- 1860-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. Repunched Date. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome deep honey-gold surfaces are further enhanced by wisps of pale pinkish-rose around the peripheries. The obverse is sharply defined overall. The reverse die for all known 1860-C half eagles is the same as that used for the 1859-C (described above), with the result that the softness of detail evident throughout the eagle is also seen here. The penultimate Charlotte Mint half eagle, the 1860-C has the lowest mintage (14,813 pieces) in this mintmarked series since the 1846-C. Most of the 200 to 300 coins extant are confined to lower grades through EF-40. Scarce in problem free and attractive Choice Extremely Fine, the coin offered here represents an important find for advanced collectors given the rarity of Mint State survivors. Doug Winter (2008) reports two obverse dies for this issue, that of Winter-2 readily attributable by repunching to the digits in the date. This variety was first described by Walter Breen in his cataloging for the June 1957 New Netherlands sale. Winter states that it is "rare." PCGS# 8285. NGC ID: 25VG.
