1875-CC Half Eagle, AU50
About 125 to 150 Coins Known

1875-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 2-C. This Carson City half eagle claims the highest mintage among the three issue for the year with 11,828 coins struck. Famously, only 200 pieces were struck at Philadelphia. Another 9,000 five dollar gold pieces were coined at San Francisco. Still, the 1875-CC remains a challenging issue with about 125 to 150 representatives known, the bulk of which are well-worn.

This red-gold AU50 survivor is pleasing for the grade and for the issue with strong definition on the stars, date, wing feathers, and olive leaves. Central blending is typical. Both sides are a bit muted with an unsurprising number of small abrasions. Population: 7 in 50, 13 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

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