Lot Description

1876-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. This attractive honey-gold example is enhanced by faint wisps of iridescent rose toning. Well balanced in terms of remaining detail, both sides even retain appreciable boldness of strike in the recessed areas of the design. This popular centennial year issue from the Carson City Mint is also scarce to rare in all grades, the mintage a scant 6,887 pieces. Most of the circulated survivors that we have handled over the years are significantly impaired, the present example with superior quality and eye appeal at the VF grade level. PCGS# 8340.
