Description

Seldom-Seen 1870-CC Half

1870-CC 50C Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned and exhibits environmental damage. This is a mildly granular representative of this rare introductory Carson City issue. Toned cream-gray and almond-gold with a slightly bright appearance and one brief thin mark near star 12.
