<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1860-C $5 AU55 PCGS. Variety 28-M. The production of Half Eagles in 1860 dropped considerably at Charlotte. The mintage (14,813 pieces) for this date is the lowest of any Half eagle from this mint since 1846. Of that paltry sum, it is now estimated only about 110-120 examples remain. This is a high grade example of this popular and elusive Charlotte half eagle. The obverse is sharp, while the reverse is weakly struck. The reverse die for this issue is from the same problematic die that struck the previous year's production from this mint. The surfaces are lustrous yellow-gold with rose tinted accents on each side. Both sides show light traces of wear and numerous scattered abrasions, most notably, two marks on Liberty's cheek. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
