Legend Rare Coin Auctions is proud to have been selected to offer this amazing "discovery" piece and prize of southern branch mint gold! One of the scarcest dates from the 1850s and the typical survivor is usually in the VF to XF range. Uncirculated examples are EXTREMELY RARE. This is among the FINEST 1854-C half eagles that exists, with only two MS63s graded finer at PCGS. Exceptionally eye appealing, this fully CHOICE example has a better than average strike and a soft, supple luster that engages the viewer. Some minor weakness is seen in the central devices, but the peripheral details are sharp. Good planchet stock was used to strike this coin without the striations or laminations that are often seen on this date. Greenish-golden hues, and some dirt that clings to the reverse rims attest to the absolute originality of this important gold coin. Unlike the majority of higher grade specimens encountered in auction or on the bourse, this coin has not been dipped, or otherwise conserved. This coin is completely FRESH to the market, part of an estate, and has NEVER been offered before being consigned to Regency Auction 27. This wonderful coin also serves as the current PCGS CoinFacts Plate Coin. Other Mint State coins include the James Stack-Harry Bass PCGS MS60; the Ed Milas NGC MS62; and the Ashland City NGC MS64, sold in 2000, 1995, and 2004 respectively. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the ONLY Mint State 1854-C half eagle to receive a CAC bean. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $25,000 and the only recent PCGS Mint State example to sell was a PCGS MS63 that realized $35,250. Since NO other PCGS Mint State coin has sold in 15 years+, this is an opportunity of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE for the advanced collector--DO NOT MISS IT! We can see this remarkable coin realizing a record price. Good luck, and congratulations in advance to the winning bidder. Cert. Number 34829287 PCGS # 8257
