Description

1855-C Half Eagle, MS61
Underrated in Mint State

1855-C $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1. This middle-availability issue with a mintage of 39,788 coins is much rarer in Mint State than most collectors give it credit for. In fact, although the certifications totals suggest otherwise because of multiple resubmissions, Doug Winter estimates only four or five 1855-C half eagles survive in Uncirculated condition. This bright yellow-gold example is strongly defined overall with incompleteness limited to a few of the stars and the eagle's neck. Partial luster glows from each side. Population: 3 in 61, 2 finer (5/21).
