1851-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. EF-40 (PCGS).Lovely olive-gold color with intermingled honey patina. Both sides are uncommonly well defined for the issue with most major design elements sharp, and few less than bold. Lustrous for the grade with modest semi-reflectivity on an otherwise frosty mint finish. Despite a mintage of 49,176 coins struck, the 1851-C is a median rarity in this series alongside the 1855-C and 1859-C. Examples with the quality and eye appeal offered here are particularly elusive and always in demand.PCGS# 8247. NGC ID: 25U6.From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
