1858-C $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Well struck with light orange-gold toning. Some luster still visable within the devices such as Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, as well as some residual frost around the stars, date, and reverse legends. And unlike many Charlotte minted half eagles of the 1840s and 1850s, this 1858-C was struck with controlled precision throughout, revealing the central parts of the design in bold relief. The grateful bidder will not be likely to allow this piece to sell at below market price. And if bidders could keep an eye on the course of events in the future, it is likely this piece will become rarer in the marketplace as they years advance. Pop 12; 44 finer. (PCGS # 8277) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700.
Ex: The Brentwood Park Estate.
