Lot Description

1873-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VG-10 (PCGS). An eminently collectable example of this elusive Carson City Mint issue, both sides exhibit handsome olive-khaki patina with glints of reddish-pink in the protected areas around the devices. Pleasingly smooth for the assigned grade with all major design elements bold and the rims more or less distinct. From a mintage of just 7,416 pieces, survivors of which number 85 to 95 coins in all grades per Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe (2012). PCGS# 8331. NGC ID: 25WL.
