1876-CC Half Eagle, AU50
Low-Mintage Issue

1876-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 1-A, the only die pair needed to strike 6,887 pieces in the production run this year. The 1876-CC is an especially challenging Carson City half eagle that is rare not only in the absolute sense, but is also a condition rarity with very few examples known above the XF grade level. Both sides of this minimally circulated example display a rich golden color and retain generous amounts of prooflike luster. The diagnostic die lump on Liberty's throat, present on all genuine 1876-CC half eagles is easily visible to the unaided eye. Population: 6 in 50, 16 finer (9/20).
Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 5512.
