Description

Delightful 1854-C Half Eagle, XF40

1854-C $5 XF40 PCGS. Variety 22-I. This variety can easily be identified because the mintmark is significantly further to the left and is centered between the I and V in FIVE. It is Die State II, as distinguished by the prominent die crack that begins at the rim by the first S and STATES and continues across the eagle to the C in AMERICA. The strike is weak in the centers and the left stars, as typically seen, but is considerably sharper on the right side. Pleasing green-orange patina covers both sides. There are no marks worthy of mention. Only 39,283 half eagles were minted for this issue, which is relatively low for the series. (Registry values: P4)
