Lot Description

1854-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-2. Weak C. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. This attractive honey-orange example is boldly defined in most areas, the C mintmark typically faint for the Winter-2 attribution, yet visible even to the unaided eye. An underrated issue, the 1854-C is one of the scarcer Charlotte Mint half eagles from the 1850s. This pleasingly original Choice EF coin offers superior quality and eye appeal for an issue that is typically offered well worn, if not also impaired. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 98257. NGC ID: 25UJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
