Description

1879-CC AU 50. A lustrous, original piece that has been spared the cleanings, "improvements," excessive bagmarking, and general deterioration encountered by many of its peers. PCGS has yet (4/94) to grade a mint state example, and those circulated pieces which have been graded range from VF 30 to XF 40. NGC reports a similar experience, with even fewer examples graded. Thus, this is one of the finest examples available to collectors.

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper

AGW: 0.24188oz
Mintage: 17,281
