Owner's Description

Winter Variety 1. This is the finest of four ’52-C coins sold at auction in December, 2007 by Gulfcoast Coins in Florida. This was the second small “hoard” of ’52-C half eagles that came to market in the last 20 years. Consistent with most ‘52-Cs, the current example exhibits strike weakness in the centers of both the obverse and reverse. Die polish lines are visible on both the obverse and reverse. The luster is semi-prooflike with a great deal of reflectivity. The color is green-gold. The reverse die is rotated slightly counter-clockwise. Purchased from Bob Harwell.
