Description

Unusual 1877-CC Half Eagle
Mintage 8,680 Coins

1877-CC $5 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin the details of an AU specimen that is damaged and has been tooled and polished. A small damaged area above the date and through the neck truncation has apparently been repaired and the surfaces touched up and polished, leaving some areas of unusual, flat ochre-yellow color. From a low mintage of 8,680 pieces.

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
