Auction 308 | Lot 8613 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1870-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. Winter 1-A. Die State II. An original coin that shows the usual softness of strike known on this die state; that is, weakness on Liberty's hair as well as blurry, indistinct feather definition on the eagle's head and neck. Nice light yellow-gold and rose colors rest on lightly marked surfaces. Unlike some higher grade 1870-CC Half Eagles, this piece has not been cleaned or over-dipped and it shows superb overall eye appeal. An important Condition Census example of this rare and desirable first year of issue Carson City Five Dollar.

Of the 7,675 pieces originally struck, an estimated 50 to 60 are known today. This includes around seven to nine in About Uncirculated and another four in Uncirculated. This is the only 1870-CC gold issue that is sometimes seen in relatively high grades and it appears that a small number may have been saved as souvenirs.
The current Condition Census for the 1870-CC Half Eagle is as follows:

1. Nevada Collection. Graded Mint State 61 by PCGS.

2. Private collection, Ex: Bowers and Merena 7/02: 607 ($77,625, as NGC MS61). Presently graded MS62 by NGC.

3. Jay Parrino, Ex: Bowers and Merena 10/99: 1170 ($69,000, as PCGS AU58); Harry Bass Collection; NERCA 1979 ANA: 182. Graded MS61 by PCGS.

4. Private collection, Ex: Charley Tuppen collection; Heritage 12/88: 1142. Graded MS61 by NGC.

5. The present coin, Ex: Midwestern Collection. Graded AU58 by PCGS. (PCGS# 8320)

1870-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A, Die State I. Only 7,675 pieces were originally struck of this first-year issue, with an estimated 50 to 60 pieces believed extant today. This includes around seven to nine in About Uncirculated and another four in Uncirculated. Of the three 1870-CC gold issues, the half eagle is the only one that is occasionally found in relatively high grades, indicating that perhaps a small number may have been saved at the time of issue as souvenirs. This piece falls just outside the Condition Census, the five finest examples known being:

1. Nevada Collection. Graded Mint State 61 by PCGS.

2. Private collection, Ex: Bowers and Merena 7/02: 607 ($77,625, as NGC MS61). Presently graded MS62 by NGC.

3. Jay Parrino, Ex: Bowers and Merena 10/99: 1170 ($69,000, as PCGS AU58); Harry Bass Collection; NERCA 1979 ANA: 182. Graded MS61 by PCGS.

4. Private collection, Ex: Charley Tuppen collection; Heritage 12/88: 1142. Graded MS61 by NGC.

5. Ex: Midwestern Collection. Graded AU58 by PCGS.

As a Die State I coin the central striking details are generally well brought up on each side. The surfaces overall are bright orange-gold and there are a number of small abrasions present, the most obvious located on the cheek of Liberty and a cluster in both the left and right obverse fields. An important, key issue in the series of Carson City half eagles. (PCGS# 8320)

1870-CC $5 VG10 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-A. Only 7,675 Liberty half eagles were struck at the famous Carson City Mint in 1870, its first year of coinage operations. The coins circulated heavily in Western commercial channels at the time of issue. Between their heavy circulation and the complete lack of numismatic interest in these coins at the time, few pieces were saved for posterity. Rusty Goe estimates 75 to 95 pieces exist in all grades today. This impressive VG10 example exhibits considerable wear on the design elements, but the date, mintmark, legends, and all letters in LIBERTY remain completely legible. The pleasing yellow-gold surfaces are lightly abraded. Collectors prize examples of this elusive, first-year issue in all grades and conditions. Census: 2 in 10, 40 finer (1/23).

1870-CC $5 AU55 NGC. Winter 1-A. Die State I. Only 7,675 pieces were produced of this rare, first-year issue, and examples are seldom seen with only 50-60 pieces believed extant in all grades. This coin is just outside the Condition Census. As a Die State I piece, the centers are better struck than many (that is to say Die State II) coins. The surfaces are bright golden-yellow with a number of more obvious abrasions on Liberty's face and scattered throughout the fields.
