Stunning Charlotte Mint Issue in Classic PCGS Old Green Holder
Here’s an attractive example of the 1853-C $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle to include in your collection. Imagine owning this piece, holding it in your hand. It was produced at the Charlotte Mint, which was established as a result of the Southern Gold Rush. The mintage was 65,571, relatively high for a Charlotte issue, but it saw heavy circulation in the antebellum South.
Writes gold specialist Doug Winter, “It becomes scarce in properly graded AU58 and rare in Uncirculated, with no more than a dozen or so known that qualify as such by today’s standards.”
This MS62 example has light contact marks and features attractive luster. Please look at the images provided of this beautiful honey-yellow coin. It is estimated that only 650 1853-C Half Eagles exist today. Of those, there are 3 graded MS62 by PCGS, with a mere 3 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) gives this issue a price of $20,000. Therefore, when you purchase this rare specimen from AUCM, you will save more than $4,000 off the CU price! (Not yet sent to CAC for further endorsement.)
