Description

1850-C Half Eagle, MS61
Exceptional Strike Detail

1850-C $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1850-C half eagle (63,591 coins) is a moderately available Charlotte issue, but it is a proven rarity in Mint State with only about a dozen or so survivors. This example exhibits exceptionally strong design detail, including on Liberty's curls, the eagle's left leg, and the shield-neck feather juncture. Bright yellow-gold surfaces retain partial luster, and each side shows an expected number of small marks and scattered hairlines. Population: 6 in 61, 8 finer (7/20).
