Lot Description

1880-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-B. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. Blended honey-gold and pale pinkish-rose patina greets the viewer from both sides of this exceptionally smooth, richly original example. The mintage for this issue is 51,107 pieces, a generous total for a pre-1890 Carson City Mint half eagle. It should come as no surprise to read, therefore, that the 1880-CC is one of the more readily obtainable issues in this mintmarked gold series. This is one of the nicest examples for the grade that we can ever recall offering, a lovely coin destined for inclusion in a specialized gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8352. NGC ID: 25XB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
