Lot Description

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. On the other hand, survivors are far scarcer than those of the truly common 1891-CC. A great collector coin, the PCGS VF-30 example offered here delivers warm pinkish-honey color on pleasingly smooth, well defined surfaces.
