Description

1874-CC Half Eagle
Well-Struck Choice AU

1874-CC $5 AU55 PCGS. While the 1874-CC Liberty five is an available issue compared to most early CC-mint half eagles, the average specimen only grades Very Fine to low XF. A Choice AU coin such as the present example is conditionally elusive, and Mint State examples are rare. The mintage of the issue was 21,198 pieces, three times the previous year's CC-mint production. Minor high-point wear is consistent with the grade, but the surfaces are well-struck and retain considerable luster. Minimal abrasions and attractive orange-gold surfaces round out the appeal. Population: 15 in 55, 10 finer (9/10).(Registry values: P3)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams
