Description

Appealing 1846-C Half Eagle, AU58

1846-C $5 AU58 ICG. Variety 8-E, the only one known. The 1846-C is rare in AU55 or finer and extremely rare in Mint State, one of the five or so rarest C-mint half eagles. This piece shows just trifling wear but is well struck and attractive, save for some softness on the right shield corner. Elsewhere the strike is bold, and this coin offers tremendous appeal for the specialist in Southern gold.(Registry values: P5)
