Lot Description

1884-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. Warm honey-gold patina with subtle pale pink highlights evident as the coin dips into a light. Smooth and appealing with excellent detail for the assigned grade. The 1884-CC is the final Carson City Mint half eagle struck prior to 1890, and it is scarce, with only 16,402 pieces produced. Survivors number only 145 to 190 coins in all grades (per Rusty Goe, 2020), and this premium VF example from the Fairmont Collection is sure to appeal to discerning bidders. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8365. NGC ID: 25XP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
