Lot Description

1874-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). A warmly patinated, honey-gold example with the sharpest detail evident around the obverse periphery and throughout the eagle's plumage. Uncommonly smooth for a lightly circulated Carson City Mint gold coin with traces of original luster remaining, this is an attractive and desirable EF in an 1874-CC half eagle. Mintage: just 21,198 pieces. Provenance: From the Boston Old City Hall Collection. Earlier ex Heritage's 1990 ANA Sale, lot 629. Lot tag and collector tag included. PCGS# 8334. NGC ID: 25WP.
