Description

Conditionally Scarce 1849-C Half Eagle, MS60

1849-C $5 MS60 NGC. Variety 12-F. A high date distinguishes this variety. This appears to be the perfect die state, as there are no visible die cracks or other defects. Pleasing yellow-gold patina envelops the surfaces, and each side displays a sharp strike with only minor weakness on the high points. The luster is above average for the grade, and is notably radiant despite the scattered abrasions in the fields. Only 64,823 half eagles were minted for this issue, and few have survived in Uncirculated condition. Census: 8 in 60, 25 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)
