Description

1872-CC Half Eagle, AU50
Original Surfaces, CAC Approval

1872-CC $5 AU50 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-B. The second C in the mintmark is over the upper left serif of the E in FIVE. This is a lovely coin that should command a premium bid. Wholly original green-gold surfaces feature reddish accents and partial luster around the raised design elements. The stars are fully formed and strike softness is confined to the centers (Liberty's middle curls and the shield, especially). This is one of only 120 to 150 examples of the 1872-CC half eagle believed to survive, according to Rusty Goe. Merely 16,900 pieces were originally struck, and they circulated extensively in the West. Few examples retain their natural surfaces, like the present offering. Census: 7 in 50, 18 finer. CAC: 2 in 50, 8 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WG, PCGS# 8326, Greysheet# 9053)

Weight: 8.36 grams
