Description

1870-CC Five Dollar, VF25
Scarce-to-Rare Inaugural CC Issue

1870-CC $5 VF25 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1870-CC Liberty Head half eagle is a scarce-to-rare issue from a tiny mintage of 7,675 pieces. Doug Winter estimates 50-60 specimens extant in all grades, with 27-33 examples in VF. PCGS pegs the surviving population at 75 to 100 pieces. Either way the 1870-CC five dollar proves to be a major challenge, especially with the added cachet of being the first half eagle from the famous Carson City Mint. The present coin is moderately worn with the faintest trace of mint luster. The surfaces are attractive orange-gold with green accents. Population: 9 in 25, 46 finer (11/20).
