1848-C MS 64 PCGS. A fairly substantial number (by Charlotte Mint standards) of 1848-C fives were minted, but the vast majority of these coins have been either lost or reduced in eye appeal as a result of circulation. Today's market possesses precious few Mint State survivors and the present example is one of the 3 finest specimens certified by both NGC and PCGS (9/99). Some softness of strike is noted on the curls around Liberty's face and on the eagle's neck and left (facing) leg feathers. These features are, however, normal for the issue and do not detract from the overall pleasing eye appeal. Both sides show semi-prooflike fields that glow with yellow-gold coloration. As befits the near-Gem grade, there are no individually distracting contact marks. (PCGS# 8237)

1848-C $5 MS64 NGC. Ex: Elrod Collection. Variety 11-E. Even though the mintage of 64,472 pieces seems generous, only 3-4 pieces are believed known in mint condition of the 1848-C with the vast majority of the 145-155 coins believed extant today in the VF-XF grade range. Listed as the finest example known on Winter's Condition Census, this is a magnificent piece of Charlotte gold. We have handled this coin on two previous occasions (in our February 1999 Long Beach Sale and as a part of the Ashland City Collection). As one can infer from the grade, this is a spectacular coin. Some softness of strike is noted on the curls around Liberty's face and there is also some weakness on the eagle's neck and left (facing) leg. However, this softness is slight and hardly detracts from the overall appearance of the coin. The fields are semi-prooflike with quite a bit of reflectivity present. Rich reddish patina covers each side, making the basic green-gold color of the coin virtually invisible now. Only the slightest abrasions are present. (PCGS# 8237)

Auction 352 | Lot 7291 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles

1848-C $5 MS64 NGC. While this date is among the more readily available Charlotte Mint half eagles, very few have survived in high grade. The mintage for this issue totaled 64,472 coins, the fifth highest production of any issue in the history of the Charlotte Mint. Only the 1847, 1849, 1852, and 1853 Charlotte half eagles had higher mintages. Although Doug Winter suggested a total survival of approximately 150 coins, he recorded just three or four Mint State examples in the second edition of Charlotte Mint Gold Coins. Since that time, the unrecorded Bass Collection coin appeared on the market with a grade of MS64 by PCGS. Another 16 to 18 AU coins were also mentioned, after which all remaining survivors show moderate to extensive wear or damage, or both.

This is a lovely example with rich green-gold coloration with considerable orange overtones. The fields exhibit numerous fine die finishing lines that impart a reflective, almost prooflike appearance. Although not fully struck, the design elements are rather well detailed, and slightly finer than the typical specimen. Winter stated that "the area below BERT in LIBERTY is especially weak and it typically shows no individual definition in the curls." This example, while weak in this area, does exhibit some hair definition. The surfaces are very lightly abraded, as one would expect for the grade. There are not large "hits" and the only pedigree marker of note is a vertical string of three tiny nicks in the reverse field just above the arrowheads.

There is some confusion regarding the pedigree of this coin. The NGC holder identified this from the Elrod Collection, and Doug Winter records the Elrod coin as pedigreed to the Eliasberg Collection. This Elrod coin was also plated in the first edition of Winter's reference, with this coin matching that plate. The confusing part of this pedigree involves an attempt to match this coin to the Eliasberg plate. There are pedigree markers visible on the Eliasberg plate that (PCGS# 8237)

1848-C MS 65 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg, Ex: Elrod. Despite similar mintage figures, the 1848-C half eagle is much scarcer than its 1849-C counterpart in all grades. The bright fields of the present specimen glow through the rich, original copper-gold and olive coloration. Although not fully struck, the devices are rather well detailed for the issue. There are a few scattered abrasions on both sides, none of which are individually distracting. A trio of small abrasions in the right reverse field above the arrows is a worthwhile pedigree marker. This lovely coin represents a unique opportunity from both technical and aesthetic vantage points.

1848-C $5 MS60 NGC. Variety 11-E. The first of two Mint State examples of this higher mintage C-mint Five. As we stress with the following coin, there is absolutely no correlation between this issue's stepped-up production figure (which reached its zenith in 1847) and its availability in Uncirculated grades. This lustrous green-gold example is strongly detailed in all areas and does not display the liberal abrasions one might expect of an MS60. Attractive and unquestionably scarce.

1848-C $5 MS 62 PCGS. Although the 1848-C half eagle finishes in the second division among Charlotte five dollar issues for overall rarity, the vast majority of survivors grade XF or less, and even an accurately graded AU is very scarce. Mint State pieces can be counted on one hand. This remarkable Uncirculated 1848-C was first offered in our February 1999 Long Beach Sale where it was described as, '...an exceptionally pleasing coin whose surfaces are clean and problem-free, being quite unlike most '48-C fives which are usually found heavily abraded. The fields are semi-reflective, and the strike is somewhat soft over the highpoints of the design, as always.' Only the Eliasberg/Elrod piece, which now resides in a PCGS MS 64 holder, ranks higher on the Condition Census. Population: 1 in 62, 3 finer (2/00). (PCGS# 8237)
