Description

1874-CC Half Eagle, AU53
Better Carson City Issue

1874-CC $5 AU53 NGC. Variety 1-C. Mintages of gold coins at Carson City increased from prior years, but remained very low relative to San Francisco output. For example, the 1874-S double eagle had a mintage of more than 1.2 million pieces, while the 1874-CC half eagle production was only 21,198 coins. The present pumpkin-gold representative displays a few small ticks on the portrait but the remainder of the coin is smooth. Clash marks are prominent below the eagle's beak. Census: 16 in 53, 24 finer (11/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WP, PCGS# 8334, Greysheet# 9057)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
