Description

1879-CC Half Eagle, AU55+
A Splendid, Original, Plus-Graded Example

1879-CC $5 AU55+ PCGS. Variety 1-A. Most easily attributable by the lack of a die line through the ER in LIBERTY. The 1879-CC five dollar is virtually unobtainable in mint condition with only 8-9 examples believed extant. However, Rusty Goe estimates 135-160 pieces may still exist in XF-AU grades, placing this Plus-graded piece at the height of collectibility. The surfaces are original with attractive reddish-gold patina and an outline of russet patina surrounding the devices on each side. Population: 28 in 55 (2 in 55+), 19 finer (7/21).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25X8, PCGS# 8349, Greysheet# 9068)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
