Lot Description

1879-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VG-10 (PCGS). An attractively original example bathed in rich, even, khaki-gold patina. The in hand appearance is remarkably smooth for a Carson City Mint gold coin that saw this extensive circulation, and all devices are boldly outlined and fully appreciable. For the grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable example of this challenging issue with a mintage of just 17,281 pieces. PCGS# 8349. NGC ID: 25X8.
