Lot Description

Lot 2427 1850-C $5 Liberty. Weak C.NGC graded MS-60.Within this wonderful selection of rare Charlotte and Dahlonega Half Eagles, this very important Mint State 1850 Weak C variety must be considered one of the most exciting opportunities for date specialists. The present example is quite well struck with all details sharp and clear, except for the mintmark of course which is very lightly impressed. The original mint bloom is virtually complete and the surfaces very clean for the grade. A specimen with considerable eye appeal and worthy of a strong bid as appearances of Uncirculated coins are few and far between. Population 1, with only 2 pieces in 61 as the best graded. Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
