Losbeschreibung

1849-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. 1849-C Winter-2. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Subtle pale pinkish-apricot enhances honey-olive color on this attractively original example. Remarkably lustrous for the grade with a predominantly frosty texture, and some semi-reflectivity in the fields. A bit soft in the centers, although the strike is considerably sharper toward the borders. The 1849-C is rarer than the 1852-C and 1858-C at the finer circulated and all Mint State levels of preservation. Examples in those grades with attractive surfaces, as here, are particularly elusive and eagerly sought. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8241. NGC ID: 25TW.
