1856-C $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and untoned. 28,457 minted. Collectors of C and D mint gold quickly learn that the 1856-C is one of the rarest half eagles in the set. Ranking sixth in overall rarity among the 24 deliveries, in About Uncirculated and Mint State grades the '56-C holds a position that would take an earthquake of large magnitude to shake from its pedestal. This lovely Choice About Uncirculated also has a strike that is about as clear as one could hope for in an 1856-C. Fresh gold color expands evenly over the surface with much luster still present. Only the most trivial abrasions are found, pointing to finer quality than average where typical specimens show marks. Pop 26; 6 in 60; 6 in 61; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 8267) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
