1871-CC Half Eagle, Choice AU
Smooth Surfaces, Ample Luster

1871-CC $5 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. Carson City struck half eagles annually throughout the 1870s. Although the 1870-CC is most coveted, any example from that decade is both rare and desirable. The 1871-CC mintage was a scant 20,770 pieces. Less than one percent of those coins remain today, since nobody collected Carson City gold prior to the 1890s. This is a pleasing caramel-gold Choice AU representative with ample luster and surprisingly few marks. Only a single narrow line on the jaw merits passing mention. The peripheral strike is crisp, while the centers show the inexactness inescapable for the issue. Census: 9 in 55, 9 finer (7/21).(Registry values: P3)
