1852-C $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle AU-55+ PCGS CAC
In 1852, the branch mint in Charlotte, North Carolina, struck a limited run of just 72,574 gold five-dollar pieces. Identified by the distinct 'C' mintmark, this Liberty Half Eagle represents a fascinating era of regional American coinage, minted close to the southern gold fields long before the Civil War altered the nation's monetary landscape. Crafted from 0.900 fine gold with a metal content of 0.2419 troy ounces, this specific coin has survived the generations in remarkable state, earning a grading of AU-55+ (About Uncirculated) with additional verification. The obverse features the classic Liberty design dated 1852, while the reverse displays the proud heraldic eagle surrounded by the inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the five-dollar denomination.
