Description

1856-C Half Eagle, AU50 CAC
Tawny-Gold Luster

1856-C $5 AU50 PCGS. CAC. Winter-1. Surviving specimens of the 1856-C half eagle are seldom found in Mint State, with just 11 examples seen by PCGS, with About Uncirculated coins more available but still scarce. This boldly struck example displays tawny-gold luster. A myriad of minor abrasions are along the surface of the coin, though they are largely not overtly detrimental in the face of the visual appeal of this piece. This coin is the sole CAC'd AU50 example and would be a welcome example for Charlotte Mint collectors (3/26).(Registry values: P4)
