Description

1881-CC Half Eagle, AU58
Low-Mintage Carson City Issue

1881-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A, sole dies for the year. Generous mint luster remains on the surfaces of this barely circulated AU58 1881-CC half eagle, a coin that also offers a sharp strike, if not quite full, and excellent eye appeal. The surfaces are medium yellow-gold. A thin scrape on Liberty's cheek and a couple of blunt hits on the neck require a short mention. The low mintage of this half eagle issue -- 13,886 pieces, or nearly half the number of eagles Carson City struck in this year -- makes it popular, and this piece's CAC sticker will make it more so. Population: 6 in 58, 3 finer (6/13).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XE, PCGS# 8356, Greysheet# 9073)

Weight: 8.36 grams
