- Lot Description
- 1848-C Liberty Half Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (11-E), the only known dies. EF-45 (NGC). Khaki-gold surfaces exhibit a tinge of pale-rose tinting at indirect angles. This piece is a bit scuffy from circulation, but there are no singularly distracting abrasions to report. Generally bold in detail, softness of strike to the central highpoints is a very common attribute in a Charlotte Mint Five.
