Description

Outstanding 1880-CC Half Eagle, AU58

1880-CC $5 AU58 NGC. The 1880-CC half eagle is significantly scarcer than its mintage of 51,007 pieces would suggest. This sharply struck example shows only a little weakness in the hairbun, as typically seen. Bright yellow gold patina covers each side. Luster radiates from the fields, and just a trace of friction keeps this piece out of Uncirculated. There are no significant marks to report. Census: 46 in 58, 12 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
