Description

1881-CC Half Eagle, Fine 12
Incredible Original Surfaces
Sole CAC Approval in This Grade

1881-CC $5 Fine 12 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Navy Mustang. This coin is an exceptional example of the quality that can be achieved even in middle circulated grades when collectors refuse to settle for anything less than excellence. Smooth, remarkably unabraded surfaces show even wear with warm honey-gold and olive patina that cedes to deep amber in the protected portions of the fields. No hairlines or evidence of cleaning are seen with a loupe, leaving only the conclusion that this piece has unfaltering originality. To put it simply, there is a reason this is the only Fine 12 1881-CC half eagle with CAC endorsement. CAC: 1 in 12, 30 finer (6/22).
From The Navy Mustang Collection. (Registry values: P3)
