- Rarely Offered Mint State 1852-C Half Eagle 1852-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. MS-61 (PCGS). A significant bidding opportunity for advanced Southern gold collectors. This solidly graded Uncirculated 1852-C $5 offers richly original color in a blend of honey-gold and reddish-orange. Lustrous and frosty with only wispy signs of handling that include no singularly mentionable marks. Winter-1 is the more frequently encountered of the two die pairings known for the issue, although we stress that the 1852-C is as conditionally challenged as one would expect for any pre-Civil War Southern gold issue. Mint State examples, as here, are decidedly rare with Doug Winter (2008) accounting for only 15 to 20 different coins at this level. This important release from the extensive Fairmont Collection holdings is surely among the finest survivors from a mintage of 72,574 pieces. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 12; 15 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8251. NGC ID: 25UB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
