1852-C $5 MS (PCGS#8251)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

ロット詳細: 1852-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-50 (PCGS). Attractive deep olive-orange surfaces lighten to medium gold under a light. There is abundant mint luster in a frosty, if somewhat granular texture. Isolated high points are softly defined, but the balance of the features are razor sharp to full. Impressively smooth for a lightly circulated Charlotte Mint half eagle and worthy of the strongest bids. Winter-1 is the more frequently encountered of the two die pairings known for the issue, although we stress that the 1852-C is as conditionally challenged as one would expect for any pre-Civil War Southern gold issue. Premium AU examples, as here, are scarce and always in demand among specialists. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
