Lot 2023
1858-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Light golden toning. Winter 26-K. The 1858-C is one of the more frequently encountered Charlotte Half Eagles. Of the 38,856 pieces struck, it is estimated that some 185-195 coins are still extant today in all grades. It is also one of the more commonly available issues in high grades with the Condition Census consisting entirely of Uncirculated pieces. Sharply struck on the obverse, the reverse is not as well defined, as usually seen on 1858-C Half Eagles. The satiny orange-gold surfaces are unremarkable in terms of abrasions except for a couple of long angling scratches in the lower right obverse field. Pop 6; 5 finer in 62. Ex Ashland City (PCGS # 8277) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
