- 1858-C Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter-1. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Here is a handsome 1858-C half eagle, and also a noteworthy condition rarity. Displaying richly original deep orange-honey color, the surfaces are uncommonly smooth for the grade with no marks of consequence. Thick, attractive mint frost is virtually full, as is the strike apart from a touch of softness to the high points of the eagle. 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, and even fewer have been approved by CAC, as here. For the advanced specialist in Southern gold, the chance to acquire such an example is quite rare indeed. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
