Description

1857-C Half Eagle, MS61
Uncirculated Charlotte Type Coin

1857-C $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 1. Mintages of half eagles at Charlotte declined with the 1854 advent of the San Francisco Mint. From the 1857 production of 31,360 pieces, the few hundred survivors are mostly clustered in XF and AU grades. This caramel-gold representative is Mint State and shows substantial luster. The fields and portrait display marks consistent with the MS61 level, though a horizontal depression on Liberty's chin appears to be a lamination, as made. The strike is sharp for the facility, save for occasional softness on the obverse dentils. Census: 13 in 61 (1 in 61+), 9 finer (9/19).(Registry values: P3)
