- 1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Here is a lovely near-Mint 1850-C half eagle, sharply to fully defined throughout with even, vivid honey-rose color. Plenty of satiny mint luster remains, the fields faintly prooflike enhancing the visual appeal. 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 finest known to PCGS, is one of the finest Choice AU coins extant, is tied for highest graded example approved by CAC, and would do justice to an advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 15; 14 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 3; 0. PCGS# 8244. NGC ID: 25TZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
