Description

1856-C Five Dollar, MS61
Peach Toning, Unmarked

1856-C $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. Rich orange toning embraces this satiny and refreshingly unabraded Charlotte Mint half eagle. The strike is exceptionally sharp on the portrait and stars, although the eagle's neck and right obverse dentils lack full definition. Shallow strike-throughs, as coined, are present on the lower left obverse quadrant and the upper right reverse field. The reverse has a hint of granularity. The 1856-C has a mintage of just 28,457 pieces and most certified survivors are in XF to AU grades. Census: 7 in 61, 2 finer (6/22).
