Rare 1878-CC Half Dollar

1878-CC XF 45 PCGS. WB-101. Untoned with good detail and some luster. A conservatively graded example which seems as nice as other examples of this date that we have seen in AU holders.
The 1878-CC is one of the scarcest half dollars from the Carson City mint. Most of the 62,000 examples that were originally struck were melted for recoinage as silver dollars.
From the Nevada Collection.
