- 1849-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-53 (PCGS). Subtle pale pinkish-silver tinting enhances otherwise dominant honey-olive color for this attractively original example. Lustrous for the grade with a predominantly frosty texture, and some appreciable semi-reflectivity in the fields. A bit soft in the centers, although the strike is considerably sharper toward the borders. As one of the more frequently encountered issues in the Charlotte Mint half eagle series, the 1849-C is an ideal candidate for a mintmarked type set. However, the 1849-C is rarer than the 1852-C and 1858-C in high grades such as AU and Mint State. Examples in those grades with attractive surfaces, as here, are particularly elusive and eagerly sought. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS# 8241. NGC ID: 25TW.
