1848-C $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle XF-40 PCGS
Struck in 0.900 fine gold, this 1848 Liberty Head half eagle represents a fascinating chapter in American coinage. Produced at the southern branch mint in Charlotte, North Carolina, as indicated by the distinctive C mint mark, this five-dollar piece emerged from a remarkably small mintage of only 64,472 coins. The obverse features the classic Liberty design, dated 1848. On the reverse, the eagle is surrounded by the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination FIVE D. This specific specimen has survived the decades with an Extremely Fine 40 (XF-40) certification, preserving the tangible details of a gold coin that circulated during a transformative era in United States history.
