Lot Description

1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-4. Weak C. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Examples of the 1850-C Winter-4 Weak C attribution are seldom offered with the abundant mint luster and generally bold striking detail that are apparent on both sides of this half eagle. The mintmark is characteristically weak, yet readily evident with the aid of a loupe; most other design elements are sharply to fully rendered. Frosty in texture with pretty deep orange-olive color, this half eagle is sure to sell for a strong premium. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population (Weak C attribution only): 4; with a single AU-58 finer. CAC Population: 3; 0. PCGS# 98244. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
