Choice XF Key 1870-CC Seated Half Dollar

1870-CC 50C XF45 PCGS. It is only in recent years that the majority of Seated Liberty coins seem to have "come into their own" in the numismatic marketplace, although the larger quarters and half dollars are still more popular than dimes and half dimes at shows, as a rule. Key-date issues such as the 1870-CC and some of the other mintmarked issues have seen marked increases in popularity as more and more collectors attempt the challenges of completing sets by date, variety, or all issues.
This first-year Carson City piece is better struck than most of the issue, with softness confined to the E in LIBERTY on the shield, partial drapery (as usual) and a hint of lightness on the eagle's left (facing) leg. Some interesting clash marks show on the reverse, and this well struck piece shows few singular abrasions. The surfaces are covered with light pinkish-gray patina, and subdued luster emanates from beneath. Population: 7 in 45, 9 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)
