Lot Description

1850-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-4. Weak C. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. This handsome honey-gold example is overall smooth with a pleasing satin texture. The detail is generally bold to sharp, but as designated by PCGS this is a Weak C example (Winter-4) with the mintmark faint, although still partially discernible at most viewing angles. The mintmark is more or less faint on all known examples of this variety, in fact, since the C was lightly punched into the reverse die. Here is a scarce and desirable Choice Extremely Fine example of this more available issue in the Charlotte Mint half eagle series. PCGS# 98244. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
