Lot Description

1884-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. Lustrous AU quality with pretty honey-rose patina to surfaces that retain plenty of bold to sharp striking detail. The 1884-CC is the final Carson City Mint half eagle struck prior to 1890, and it is scarce, with only 16,402 pieces produced. Survivors number only 145 to 190 coins in all grades (per Rusty Goe, 2020), and with only a handful of Mint State pieces extant, this premium AU-50 from the Fairmont Collection is sure to appeal to advanced bidders. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8365. NGC ID: 25XP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
