Lot 2009
1855-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Untoned. While the 1855-C is a moderately scarce Charlotte Half Eagle, it is very hard to pin down in strict Mint State, with as few as three or four pieces believed known. This example has warm yellow-gold to peach orange hues and the striking details aplenty that are sharp on the figure of Liberty, and also sharp on the reverse. The reverse is usually somewhat less well defined on other 1855-C half eagles. The surfaces are slightly abraded but the only mark worthy of singular note is located between stars 10 and 11. Total of 39,788 coins minted. Pop 2; 9 finer.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
