Elusive AU58 Sharpness 1878-CC Half

1878-CC 50C --Cleaned--ANACS. AU58 Details. Only 62,000 pieces were struck for this final Carson City Seated half issue, since the emphasis changed to production of the newly introduced Morgan dollar. The present sharply struck piece has been dipped, but considerable luster beckons from the borders and devices, and hairlines are limited to an unimportant cluster beneath the eagle's beak.
