详细说明

Here is a bright and vivid 1858-C half eagle, displaying bold pinkish-rose patina on medium orange-honey color. The surfaces are lustrous for the grade and, while some faint hairlines are noted for accuracy, a light scuff on the reverse behind the eagle's head is the only singularly mentionable mark. With a production figure of 38,856, the 1858-C half eagle is one of the more readily available half eagles from the Charlotte Mint. As a mainstay gold denomination and the largest produced at this North Carolina facility, virtually the entire issue experienced much use in circulation. Most are in lower to middle level circulated condition and are often scraped, heavily abraded, or otherwise damaged. Only a small number of premium AU examples are known. For the advanced specialist in Southern gold, the chance to acquire such an example is quite rare indeed.
