1872-CC $5 AU55 PCGS. The 1872-CC is a very rare issue even though 16,980 pieces were produced. Only 70-80 examples are believed known today; PCGS and NGC have certified fewer than 130 coins, some of which are likely resubmissions. No Mint State specimens have been certified to date.

The Choice AU example presented here displays bright, yellow-gold surfaces, and luster in the recessed areas. The design features are considerably better defined than is usually the case for the issue, which is typically poorly struck in the centers. While some softness is noted in the hair curls around the ear, the remaining hair, as well as the eagle's feathers and shield, display nice detail. A few small contact marks are visible on Liberty's cheek and neck, but the surfaces do not reveal the extensive abrasions seen on most '72-CCs. The most distinctive pedigree identifiers are couple of milling marks on Liberty's neck, and a vertical die break from the eagle's beak to the left (facing) wing. Population: 5 in 55, 1 finer (2/06).

1872-CC $5 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1-B, which has the mintmark entered lower than seen on Variety 1-A. Glimpses of luster accompany the borders and the recessed areas of the devices. The surfaces are refreshingly free from mentionable contact. Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's neck and fletchings are not fully brought up, however, the eagle's plumage and the stars are very sharp. Light die clashmarks are noted below the eagle's beak and below Liberty's chin. Just 16,980 pieces were struck, and the majority of the approximately 100 survivors are in VF and lower grades. Population: 4 in 53, 4 finer (3/05). (PCGS# 8326)

1872-CC $5 AU55 PCGS. Winter 1-A. Ex: Ashland City Collection. The 1872-CC is a very rare issue even though 16,980 pieces were produced. Only 70-80 examples are believed known today and it is a significant condition rarity with this piece being a mid-Condition Census coin. The surfaces are bright and yellow-gold in color with numerous small abrasions scattered over each side, as usual for this issue. A bit softly defined over the highpoints, as one would expect for a '72-CC, the most distinctive pedigree identifiers are a nearly vertical mark behind the trailing curls of Liberty's hair and a short nick to the right of star 1.

1872-CC $5 XF45 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Just 16,980 examples of the 1872-CC Five Dollar were originally produced. It is elusive in the absolute sense as well as an important condition rarity among Carson City Half Eagles. This piece shows moderate wear as well as typical softness over the highpoints, with much surviving luster in the recesses. Population: 9 in 45, 8 finer (10/03).

1872-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Somewhat better struck than usual for this issue with the normally found weakness in the centers, but well defined on the peripheral stars and lettering. Very lustrous with rich reddish tinted surfaces. There is minimal wear and the fields lack the typical deep marks seen on this issue. As of December 2002, this piece is tied with a single PCGS AU58 as the highest graded 1872-CC Half Eagle.

This is a much rarer date than its original mintage figure of 16,980 pieces would suggest. There are an estimated 70-80 pieces known with just six to eight in About Uncirculated grades and none in Uncirculated. In higher grades, the 1872-CC is tied as the second rarest Carson City Half Eagle (along with the 1873-CC), and it is one of just two Half Eagles from this mint (the 1878-CC is the other) that remains unknown in Uncirculated condition. In the Bowers and Merena July 2002 sale, a PCGS AU50 example of this date sold for a robust $25,875. (PCGS# 8326)

1872-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. Only 16,980 Half Eagles were struck in Carson City in 1872. Gold coins were needed in circulation in the Old West, and no regard was given to saving examples for posterity. In fact, none have been certified by either major service in Uncirculated grades, and the great majority of survivors are in VF and lower grades. This piece has golden-brown color and considerable mint luster in protected areas. Not fully struck in the centers, but the distraction-free surfaces provide good eye appeal. Struck from lightly clashed dies. Population: 2 in 50, 4 finer (4/03). (PCGS# 8326)

1872-CC $5 AU 53 NGC. Only the third year of issue from the historic Carson City mint and, while not as elusive overall as the preceding two and several others that soon followed, the 1872-CC half eagle is extremely difficult, particularly in lesser worn condition. This piece exhibits modest softness on the highpoints and is quite lustrous beneath blushes of orange and rose patina. Close examination reveals a couple of parallel scratches on Liberty's neck, the only distractions of note on this Condition Census 1872-CC five. Population: 1 in 53, 1 finer (6/99).
