1858-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter Variety 1 (26-K). AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.This is a handsome and exceptionally appealing Charlotte Mint half eagle. Both sides are attractively toned and possess a wonderfully original appearance that is often lacking in Southern gold coinage. The strike is exceptionally full by the standards of the issuing mint. The 1858-C is one of the more readily obtainable Charlotte Mint fives, and it has long been popular among mintmarked gold type collectors. The premium quality Choice AU offered here is among the nicest that we have offered in recent memory. Worthy of a strong bid.
