Description

1870-CC 50C Good 6 NGC. This introductory Carson City half dollar issue was little saved in the hardscrabble Western frontier, unlike its Seated dollar counterpart which was set aside in limited quantity. Cream-gray and almond-gold with few faint obverse hairlines and occasionally granular surfaces. All stars and peripheral legends are clear, although LIBERTY and the motto are well worn.(Registry values: N991)
