Description

1872-CC Five Dollar Liberty, VF30
Scarce Low-Mintage Issue

1872-CC $5 VF30 NGC. Variety 1-B. The 1872-CC Liberty half eagle is a scarce date in the series, from a mintage of just 16,980 pieces. Doug Winter estimates the surviving population at just 70-80 specimens in all grades, with most examples seen in the VF range. This pleasing, evenly worn VF30 piece represents the more available Variety 1-B, with the mintmark positioned lower in the field than on the other known variety. Census: 1 in 30, 44 finer (9/20).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2011), lot 4320.
