1854-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Weak C. AU-58 (PCGS).Vivid rose-orange blankets both sides of this exceptionally attractive Charlotte Mint five. Well defined apart from a touch of softness in isolated areas, the surfaces are satiny in texture with a pleasingly smooth appearance. An underrated issue in this challenging Southern gold series, the 1854-C is one of the scarcer Charlotte Mint half eagles from the 1850s. Winter-2, offered here, is the Weak C variety of the issue, the mintmark faint, yet discernible to the unaided eye. Superior quality and eye appeal for an issue that is typically offered no finer than EF.From The Des Moines Collection.
