Description

1876-CC Half Eagle, AU58
Conditionally Elusive Low-Mintage Rarity

1876-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. This issue is doubly popular as the American Centennial issue from the Carson City Mint, struck to the extent of a meager 6,887 pieces -- nearly half that of the 1875-CC's mintage. Most of the paltry surviving population circulated extensively, and examples approaching Mint State are quite elusive. NGC claims eight submissions in the AU58 grade of the present coin with a single MS61 finer (2/14). This piece displays much mint luster over attractive orange-yellow surfaces that are quite well-struck and display only light, scattered field chatter rather than mentionable marks.
