Outstanding 1870-CC Half, XF45

1870-CC 50C XF45 PCGS. The 1870-CC is probably the most challenging Carson City half dollar in terms of overall rarity (although the 1878-CC is a close rival), and it is unquestionably the rarest in high grades. The strike on this piece is average for the grade, with BER in LIBERTY (which are typically weak) uncommonly well detailed. The coin has a bright, light gray appearance with deeper accents around and within the recesses of the devices. This offering presents an important opportunity to acquire an outstanding quality 1870-CC Seated half dollar. Population: 7 in 45, 8 finer (3/09).
