Lot Description

1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-4. AU-53 (NGC). This bright honey-gold example is appreciably lustrous with a soft satin to semi-reflective finish. The detail is generally bold to sharp, but we do note characteristic softness to the central high points. The mintmark was weakly impressed into the die, diagnostic of the Winter-4 attribution, but here it is bold enough to preclude a Weak C designation. A scarce and desirable About Uncirculated example of this more available issue in the Charlotte Mint half eagle series. PCGS# 8244. NGC ID: 25TZ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
