Lot Description

1881-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-25 (PCGS). Wonderfully original honey-rose surfaces are pleasingly smooth in hand with all major design elements boldly defined. This is a scarce issue, as are most Carson City Mint fives, the mintage for the 1881-CC limited at just 13,886 pieces. Writing in our August 2012 catalog for the Battle Born Collection, Rusty Goe estimates that only 150 to 190 coins are extant in all grades. PCGS# 8356. NGC ID: 25XE.
