Prooflike Choice AU 1848-C Half Eagle

1848-C $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. Despite the high mintage approaching 65,000 coins, the 1848-C half eagle is much scarcer in Mint State than such a figure suggests. This example displays some prooflike luster under a light layer of field chatter on original greenish-gold surfaces. Some of the planchet roughness appears original to the Mint. Census: 31 in 55, 24 finer (2/10).(Registry values: P4)
