ロット詳細

Here is a vivid and attractive 1858-C half eagle, displaying bold pinkish-rose patina on medium orange-honey color. The surfaces are lustrous for the grade and, while a touch of glossiness is noted for accuracy, there are no singularly distracting marks.<p>With a production figure of 38,856, the 1858-C is one of the more readily available half eagles from the Charlotte Mint. As a mainstay gold denomination and the largest produced at this North Carolina facility, virtually the entire issue experienced much use in circulation. Most are in lower to middle level circulated condition and are often scraped, heavily abraded, or otherwise damaged. Only a small number of premium AU examples are known. For the advanced specialist in Southern gold, the chance to acquire such an example is quite rare indeed.
