Original 1870-CC Half Dollar, VF35

1870-CC 50C VF35 PCGS. Undoubtedly the fact that this was the first year of issue for the Carson City Mint explains the weak strikes seen on many 1870-CC halves. That effect is not so noticeable on this coin, however, as it is evenly worn over the high points. This is a lovely mid-grade circulated example of this major CC rarity. The fields and recesses of the devices are deep gray and the high points of the devices are brilliantish. There are no obvious or noticeable abrasions on either side. An original coin that was spent for several years in the channels of commerce in Nevada in the 1870s.(Registry values: N2998)
