Description

1881-CC Half Eagle, AU55
Excellent, Well-Toned Example

1881-CC $5 AU55 NGC. Winter 1-A. Orange-gold surfaces are highlighted with rose and steel-blue. Some weakness exists on the high points, and the only abrasion of note is at the eye. The Philadelphia production of this year is the single largest of the entire half eagle denomination at 5.71 million, and San Francisco's output of 969,000 coins was its second highest production up to that point. However, the Carson City Mint only made 13,886 coins, which Garrett and Guth suggest is because they were only made for local production.(Registry values: P3)
