Important Select 1852-C Half Eagle

1852-C $5 MS63 PCGS. Variety 1. With its ample mintage and above-average surviving population, the 1852-C is a popular half eagle issue for the type collector of branch mint gold. For most coins, even better-grade pieces, eye appeal is a concern, since examples often show weak strikes and numerous heavy marks.
This attractive representative, housed in a prior-generation PCGS holder, is one of the most gorgeous examples available today. The central devices show above-average definition, and the fields show attractive, satiny luster that offers a degree of reflectivity. While a number of light, scattered marks are present on each side, the surfaces have none of the sharp, distracting abrasions that so often appear on examples of this issue. Population: 1 in 63, 3 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P3)
