Description

1875-CC $5 AU50 NGC. Variety 1-B. Only 11,828 half eagles were struck in this popular Western mint in 1875, and the 1875-CC has been a perennial collector favorite. It is notably scarce in AU condition. This piece is better struck than the average example encountered with slight high-point softness seen over the devices. The reddish-tinged surfaces are only marred by a couple of shallow scrapes in the right obverse field.(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WU, PCGS# 8337, Greysheet# 9060)
