Description

1872-CC Half Eagle, AU50
Carson City Condition Rarity

1872-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 1-B. The more accessible of two varieties recognized by the standard text, showing the mintmark positioned lower. Neither variety is particularly accessible, however, and the 1872-CC half eagle as a whole is a condition rarity in AU and better. While this AU50 representative has typically soft detail through the interior high points, actual wear is surprisingly minimal, as evidenced by the generous remaining luster that swirls through the apricot-laced yellow-gold fields. A pinscratch to the left of Liberty's chin precludes a finer grade within the adjectival category. Population: 10 in 50, 11 finer (3/13).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WG, PCGS# 8326, Greysheet# 9053)

Weight: 8.36 grams
