Charlotte Gold Lowball NEWP

Wahoo554Wahoo554 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭✭✭

I typically seek out half eagles in VF or better, but will make exceptions if the coin has really nice eye appeal or is particularly interesting. I really like the look of this well traveled 39-C. The coin has nice color, and the wear is smooth and even with no major distractions. I especially like how bold the date and mintmark are.

    Good looking coin.
    A C mint coin is a 'One of these days' coins for me.

    Great old $5 gold…if it could only talk.

    This piece would have fit my lowball US gold collection quite well.

    That is a great piece of Charlotte gold.... It has seen some commerce for sure... Must have traveled in some wealthy circles. Clear date and obverse mint mark. I really like it. Cheers, RickO

    Congrats and glad you like it! It most definitely has a coolness factor to it. It’s not my cup of tea but if we all had the same tastes things would be very boring.

    That’s one I’d try to buy if I happened upon it in the wild. ……. Coinfacts says it’s the only 4, the lowest graded, next lowest is a 10.

    Remarkable that the coin could get that much wear and still straight grade. With that much wear you would think it would have been damaged.
