Liberty Half Eagles
1858-C $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 2. This is the scarcer reverse die, showing the mintmark almost entirely over the E in FIVE. Bright yellow-gold surfaces show areas of satiny luster along with patches of planchet roughness (mint made) on each side. The eagle's talons are soft, but the strike is otherwise well-executed. Finer examples of this Charlotte half eagle are rarely located. Population: 19 in 58, 17 finer (6/17).
