Description

Select Mint State 1852-C Half Eagle
Popular Southern Gold Type Issue

1852-C $5 MS63 NGC. CAC. Variety 1. Thanks to a mintage of 72,574 pieces, generous by Charlotte standards, and the existence of two distinct hoards of Mint State pieces, the 1852-C is one of the best choices for the collector seeking a Charlotte half eagle for a Southern gold type set. This Select example has a typical appearance for a high-end example of the issue, with blended detail on the high points from a soft strike but no trace of wear. Faintly green-gold surfaces laced with orange are lightly abraded with semireflective luster under a thin layer of patina. A shallow scrape appears just off the back of Liberty's neck.(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UB, PCGS# 8251, Greysheet# 9001)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
