Description

Pleasing 1860-C Half Eagle, XF45

1860-C $5 XF45 NGC. Variety 28-M. This variety features a small and low date, which is much closer to the denticles than to the bust. Only 14,813 half eagles were struck at the Charlotte mint in 1860-the lowest number since 1846. Pleasing orange-gold patina has a light olive-green hue. The obverse details are sharp, but the reverse details are soft, particularly on the shield, which is typical for the issue. There are no significant marks, and some hints of luster are present in the fields. Housed in an old NGC holder.(Registry values: P4)
