- Attractive olive-gold surfaces brighten to golden-orange under a light. There is a somewhat granular texture, as typical for the issue. Impressively smooth for a lightly circulated Charlotte Mint half eagle, retaining overall bold and well balanced definition. Winter-1 is the more frequently encountered of the two die pairings known for the issue, although we stress that the 1852-C is as conditionally challenged as one would expect for any pre-Civil War Southern gold issue. Premium EF examples, as here, are scarce and always in demand and worthy of the strongest bids from the specialist in southern branch mint gold.<p>
