Description du lot

1851-C Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS). This is an uncommonly well struck example of a challenging Charlotte Mint gold issue, both sides retaining bold to sharp central detail in the absence of all but light wear. The eye appeal is also strong for a circulated survivor, both sides awash in warm olive-gold patina. The conditionally scarce AU-50 offered here would make a pleasing addition to many Southern gold sets. Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy. PCGS# 7760. NGC ID: 25HM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
