Description

1859-C Liberty Half Eagle, AU58
Elusive Issue Any Finer

1859-C $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 2. The 1859-C Liberty half eagle is an elusive issue in AU58 condition, and finer examples are rare. This attractive near-Mint specimen is sharply struck on the obverse, but the central reverse is somewhat mushy, due to an improperly annealed die (all 1859-C half eagles show this effect to some degree). The pleasing orange-gold surfaces exhibit the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade and only a trace of wear shows on the high points of the design. Much original mint luster remains intact. From a mintage of 31,847 pieces. Census: 34 in 58, 13 finer (7/18).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VC, PCGS# 8281, Greysheet# 9029)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
