1876-CC Liberty Half Eagle, AU Details
Elusive, Low-Mintage Issue

1876-CC $5 -- Reverse Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Variety 1-A. Among all half eagles of the Carson City Mint the 1876-CC claims the lowest mintage, at a meager 6,887 pieces. The surviving population numbers 80-90 examples in all grades. This coin exhibits AU sharpness on the design elements and the pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded, but the original mint luster on the reverse is dimmed, due to the noted cleaning.
