Description

Important 1875-CC Half Eagle, AU58

1875-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 2-B. The date is high and slightly left of center, and the mintmark is uneven, with the second C markedly lower than the first. Winter calls the reverse a doubled die, but there is no apparent doubling on this piece. Although the central obverse and reverse are weak as usual, especially on the eagle's neck and head, this pleasing near-Mint example is most attractive, with reflective fields and light yellow luster. Surface marks on each side are typical for the grade and do little to lessen its eye appeal. Census: 5 in 58, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P3)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
