Description

1872-CC WB-101 Half Dollar, MS62
Die Pair 1 from the Dick Osburn Collection

1872-CC 50C MS62 NGC. WB-101, Die Pair 1, R.4. Ex: Dick Osburn Collection. An exceptional Mint State example of the variety and of the coinage issue, the finest 1872-CC half dollar that NGC has certified (11/21). In fact, this is the only Mint State 1872-CC half dollar that NGC has examined. PCGS has examined two finer examples: the Clapp-Eliasberg coin and the Battle Born specimen, both certified MS63. In the Confident Carson City Collector, Rusty Goe estimates a total Mint State population of only five or six coins, including this example and the two MS63 pieces. Dappled gold toning appears on the light silver-gray surfaces of this important piece that features slightly reflective fields. This important half dollar is the third finest 1872-CC known today.
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2011), lot 5150; Dick Osburn Collection (Stack's Bowers, 8/2011), lot 7107.
