Liberty Half Eagles
1854-C $5 Weak C, Variety 2, AU58 PCGS. This is a much scarcer date than expected, with a relatively higher mintage of 39,283 pieces. Although the Charlotte mintmark is faint, it is fully outlined. The mintmark was evenly but lightly impressed into the die, and all C-mint half eagles struck from this reverse die have this feature. The present piece has a reasonable strike considering the mint of origin. The fields are impressively void of marks, although a few shallow mint-made strike-throughs are present. Population: 8 in 58, 6 finer (9/17).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2006), lot 2769; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 4253; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 5423.
