RARE in such a high grade, most of the 15,362 coins struck went right into antebellum commerce and it is extremely difficult to locate anything graded finer than AU58 or with any sort of originality! The presently offered coin is NOT your typical dipped, stripped, conserved bright yellow half eagle! Both sides have a great look with richer golden-orange with accents of olive and rose as you rotate the surfaces in a light. Only the slightest friction and a few light lines keep this high end 58 from a Mint State holder. PCGS 22, NGC 32, CAC 5. Only two CAC coins have ever sold in auction, the most recent selling for $7,800 in the 2018 Central States auction. The current CU value is $7,000. Any Mint State coin is going to cost $10,000+. This eye appealing coin will attract strong bidding. Cert. Number 3608490-007 PCGS # 8278
