Description du lot

1871-CC Liberty Half Eagle. EF-45 (NGC). This minimally circulated example exhibits warm, even, khaki-gold patina. The overall definition is quite sharp, and a few shallow obverse abrasions around star 4 are the only singularly mentionable distractions. The second Carson City Mint half eagle, the 1871-CC ranks 12th in overall rarity among the 19 CC-mint issues in this series. It is rarer in all grades than the 1879-CC, 1880-CC and all four 1890s half eagles from the Carson City Mint. This issue is typically offered no finer than VF, and even a certified EF-40 represents an important find in today's market. PCGS# 8323.
