Original Gem 1876-CC Half, Ex: Pittman

1876-CC MS 65 NGC. WB-102. Medium mintmark. The center is toned golden-gray with splashes of fiery orange-gold at the periphery, and the reverse shows superb multicolored toning with blue, green, and lilac predominant. The underlying surfaces are very frosty. A wholly original gem that has obviously been well-cared for.
While relatively available in the lower Mint State grades, gem examples of the 1876-CC half dollar are very scarce. PCGS has graded seven in MS 65 with one better as of June 1999 while NGC has seen five MS 65s and two better. The finest known is the spectacular Eliasberg II: 2038 coin, later graded MS 68 by NGC.
From the Nevada Collection. Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, Part Two (Akers, 5/98), lot 1585, where it realized $1,760.
