Description

The Winter Plate 1852-C Half Eagle

1852-C $5 MS62 NGC. Winter 18-H. According to the mintage figures, this issue should be quite plentiful, and it is plentiful in lower grades. This is actually one of the more common issues in high grade, and perhaps as many as a dozen Mint State coins are known. Doug Winter reports that a hoardlet of five Mint State pieces was found in Indiana in 1986. This example is a typical Select Mint State coin with a decent strike, although the hair curls above Liberty's ear, and the eagle's neck feathers on the reverse, are both quite weak. The lightly abraded surfaces are subtly prooflike. Each side has lovely greenish-gold color accented by light orange toning.
