Description

1855-C Half Eagle, MS61
Rare in Mint State

1855-C $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1855-C half eagle is a middle-availability Charlotte issue with 39,789 coins struck, although only 175 to 225 examples are believed to survive. Of those, Doug Winter suggests four to five Mint State representatives, this being one of them. Partially reflective fields retain hints of glowing luster around the borders and devices. Liberty's portrait exhibits strong detail, while the stars and eagle show slightly softer definition. Hairlines and minor ticks explain the grade. Population: 3 in 61, 2 finer (4/20).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UR, PCGS# 8262, Greysheet# 9013)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
