1875-CC $5

Description

PCGS 1875-CC XF 40. During Reconstruction, particularly in the West, there was a tremendous shortage of coinage for general circulation. This was due, in part, to the mass migration of people from the East in search of gold, rich farm land, and the new American dream. Most of the gold coins produced at Carson City were subjected to a long life of continuous circulation, resulting in most coins of this era being well worn or damaged. This example must have escaped such a life, as it shows only light, even wear and no prominent abrasions. There were only 11,828 half eagles struck, and this is exceptional.
