Description

Lustrous 1853-C Half Eagle, MS62

1853-C $5 MS62 NGC. CAC. Variety 20-H. The digit 1 is close to the bust, with a small curved notch in the lower bust line to accommodate this digit. This example has a bold mintmark that is centered between the V in FIVE and the tip of the arrow feather. Brilliant and desirable with satiny, reflective fields and frosty, boldly defined devices. Both sides have bright yellow-gold surfaces that are aesthetically enhanced by rich green and traces of pale orange. A highly desirable piece, and while short of finest certified quality, it ranks among the best examples available in the market place. Census: 7 in 62, 6 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)
