Description

Prized Near-Mint 1871-CC Half Eagle

1871-CC $5 AU58 NGC. While not considered a rarity on par with its more famous double eagle counterpart, the 1871-CC half eagle is elusive across all grades, and high-end circulated examples are particularly challenging. At the AU58 level, the date is a condition rarity, and NGC and PCGS have certified just four Mint State coins between them (3/10). This near-Mint example has uncommonly bold design definition on peripheral and central devices alike. Gold-orange luster is satiny and strong with only mild disturbances. Lightly abraded with only a trace of friction crossing the highest design elements.(Registry values: P3)
