Lot Description

1875-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-35 (PCGS). CAC. Warmly toned in honey-gold, this pleasingly original example also offers bold striking detail to all but the highest points of the design. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, and sure to appeal to dedicated Carson City Mint gold collectors. Much of the modest mintage of 11,828 pieces for the 1875-CC half eagle saw prolonged use in commerce and VF is a typical grade for the 90 to 120 or so survivors. This is a pleasing example of the issue that is sure to see spirited competition at auction. Provenance: From the Drummer Collection. PCGS# 8337. NGC ID: 25WU.
