1881-CC Half Eagle, Unc Details
Variety 1-A, The Only Dies

1881-CC $5 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. Variety 1-A. This is the only known 1881-CC half eagle variety, with the mintmark centered over the V in FIVE. The mintage of this issue was 13,886 coins, and most survivors are well circulated, with an average certified grade of just over XF40. The neck feathers on this piece are a trifle indistinct, but all other details are boldly defined. The rich yellow-gold surfaces have a polished appearance without a glass. However, close inspection under a loupe reveals a fine-grained matte texture.
