Description

Notable 1871-CC Half Eagle, XF

1871-CC $5 XF40 NGC. Of the first four CC-mint half eagles the 1871-CC is the most frequently seen, but they are usually in low circulated grades. The average certified piece, presumably the top end of survivors, averages only VF30. This notable XF40 example shows partial luster remaining over the khaki-gold surfaces. The strike is somewhat soft through the centers, but there are few singular signs of contact. Census: 12 in 40, 40 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WD, PCGS# 8323, Greysheet# 9051)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
