Lot Description

1874-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-30 (PCGS). Handsome honey-gold surfaces with a few splashes of rose-russet that are more prominent on the obverse. Suitably bold for the assigned grade, especially on the reverse, this is an attractively original mid-grade survivor of a scarce and conditionally challenging early date CC-mint gold issue. The 1874-CC half eagle produced to the extent of just 21,198 pieces, the issue suffering a high rate of attrition through circulation in and around Carson City. Provenance: From the Drummer Collection. PCGS# 8334. NGC ID: 25WP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
