Lot Description

1853-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). Warmly toned olive-gold surfaces exhibit very bold definition for a lightly circulated Liberty Head half eagle from this challenging Southern coinage facility. Despite a relatively generous mintage of 65,571 pieces, the 1853-C is a median rarity among Charlotte Mint fives. This pleasing EF would do equally well in a mintmarked gold type set or a more specialized collection. Provenance: From the Boston Old City Hall Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of October 1988, lot 2252. Lot tag included. PCGS# 8254. NGC ID: 25UE. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
