1873-CC Half Eagle, AU Details
Elusive Carson City Issue

1873-CC $5 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Variety 2-B. The 1873-CC half eagle had a meager mintage of only 7,416 pieces, and the vast majority circulated extensively. Extant pieces are rare in all grades and primarily reside in the lower end of the grade scale, with the few surviving AU or finer representatives being prohibitively rare. This piece is lightly cleaned, with even yellow-gold color overall. High-point wear is minimal, and the surfaces are free of any major detractions. A still-pleasing example of this sought-after Carson City issue.(Registry values: P3)
