1853-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Weak C. AU-50 (NGC).This warmly patinated honey-gold example retains an uncommon degree of sharp striking detail for a circulated Charlotte Mint gold coin. Pleasingly original in appearance with predominantly smooth surfaces. While the 1853-C as an issue is among the more frequently encountered Charlotte Mint half eagles, the Winter-3 Weak C variety offered here is rare. A find for the advanced Southern gold enthusiast.
