Description

Pleasing 1875-CC Half Eagle, Choice AU

1875-CC $5 AU55 NGC. The mintage of half eagles in 1875, at 11,828 pieces, was barely half of the previous year's total for two reasons: First, double eagle coinage took precedence. Second, and probably more important, production of silver coinage was greatly increased at all mints in preparation for specie redemption that was slated to begin in January 1878.
This Choice AU example offers considerable reflectivity throughout the fields. There are few minor marks and, although the central strike is somewhat soft, there is great eye appeal. Census: 10 in 55, 6 finer (6/09).(Registry values: P3)
