Remnants of soft mint frost blend with bright honey-gold color on this pleasing 1856-C half eagle. The strike is detailed, with uncommon boldness appreciable. An underrated issue among Southern gold coins, the 1856-C is rarer than a mintage of 28,457 pieces might imply, with no more than 250 to 300 survivors in all grades. According to Doug Winter in the 2008 edition to the book <em>Gold Coins of the Charlotte Mint: 1838-1861</em>, Mint State survivors number only about six or seven individual coins. This lightly circulated example - scarce in its own right - is an attractive alternative worthy of serious bidder consideration.
