Owner's Description

Winter Variety 1. The 1858-C is probably the best struck example of half eagles from Charlotte in the late 1850s. This coin is a perfect example of this with only minor weakness in the curls around the face. Die polish lines can be seen clearly on the reverse. The luster is frosty and the color is an attractive orange-gold with green highlights. There is a characteristic '58-C die lump on the cheek. The description for Heritage 1/07: 3555 included the following pedigree history --- This piece was at one time in Stanley Elrod's # 1 Collection. That group of coins was sold privately and was not included in the Paramount or Stack's auctions of Elrod's C-mint gold. Purchased from Doug Winter; ex: Heritage 1/07: 3555 (not sold); ex: Elrod
