Lot Description

1878-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-20 (PCGS). CAC. An attractively original piece bathed in rich, deep, olive-orange patina. Smooth and inviting at the assigned grade level with overall bold definition and faint traces of mint luster. One of just 9,045 examples of the issue produced, a modest figure for the era, although typical of many 1870s Carson City Mint gold issues. With most circulated survivors impaired due to damage and/or cleaning, this premium quality VF will certainly catch the eye of astute bidders. PCGS# 8346. NGC ID: 25X5.
