Liberty Half Eagles
1849-C $5 AU55 PCGS. Variety 1. The 1849-C Liberty half eagle is a relatively available issue from a mintage of 64,823 pieces. This Choice AU specimen shows some light wear on the high points of the well-detailed design elements and an unfinished area on the reverse, between the eagle's wing and the branch, diagnostic of Variety 1. A die crack from the rim near U in UNITED indicates the later Die State II. The lightly abraded lemon-yellow surfaces exhibit traces of prooflike reflectivity in sheltered areas. Population: 28 in 55, 22 finer (1/17).
