 1858'C' Brilliant Uncirculated. This wonderfully rich yellow-golden specimen features assertive definition and an abundance of luxurious icy mint frost. Trivial hairlines are detectable under close scrutiny in the upper right reverse field, otherwise this very rare example is free of any noteworthy encumbrances. As is the case with all Charlotte Mint gold issues, the Half Eagles of this date are always the object of considerable collector demand. The lofty quality of the presently offered example only magnifies this demand immensely.
Breen lists two reverse dies of this date; one with the mintmark mostly above the 'E' in FIVE, and the variety offered here with the mintmark positioned mostly above the 'V'.
