Description

Appealing 1875-CC Fifty Cent, MS66
One of the Two Finest Certified

1875-CC 50C MS66 PCGS. Compared to the Carson City Mint's half dollar output in 1874 of 59,000 pieces, 1875-CC half dollar production skyrocketed to 1,008,000 coins. In fact, more half dollars were manufactured in Carson City in 1875 than that mint had produced in the five preceding years combined.
Though not a major rarity in the Carson City series, the 1875-CC is much scarcer than the date's mintage would suggest. Indeed, mid- and high-grade Mint State examples are quite elusive, as can be gleaned from certified population figures; fewer than 50 specimens have been graded MS64 or better.
The Premium Gem in this lot is one of the two finest certified examples! Intense luster radiates from surfaces lightly toned in golden-tan, and are devoid of all but a few grade-consistent ticks. The design elements benefit from a well executed strike, with no areas showing signs of weakness. All in all, this coin generates great eye appeal. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/07).(Registry values: N1)
