Description

Scarce, Near-Mint 1880-CC Half Eagle

1880-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. A scarce CC Half Eagle that is more difficult than its deceptively high mintage of 51,017 pieces might indicate. Well struck on the obverse with intricate detailing on the hair curls and star radials, the reverse shows just a bit of softness on the eagle's neck, as always. A few scattered marks and scratches are noted on the obverse. Bright orange-gold surfaces overall with most of the original mint luster still remaining.
