Description

1861-C Liberty Half Eagle, AU55
Last Charlotte Mint Issue

1861-C $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1. The 1861-C Liberty half eagle was the last issue produced at the Charlotte Mint, with a reported mintage of 6,879 pieces. The last 887 examples were apparently struck after the Confederacy seized the facility on April 20, 1861. The surviving population numbers approximately 150-175 specimens in all grades, with most examples seen in the VF-XF grade range.

This attractive Choice AU piece displays just a trace of wear on the well-detailed design elements and the bright greenish-gold surfaces retain much of their original mint luster. Only minor abrasions are evident and eye appeal is quite strong for the issue. Census: 19 in 55, 20 finer (7/13).(Registry values: P6)
