Lot Description

1876-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-30 (NGC). A richly patinated, predominantly khaki-orange example with rose-russet outlines to many of the devices. Bold Choice VF detail throughout, an overall smooth appearance in hand also a noteworthy attribute. This popular centennial year issue from the Carson City Mint is also scarce to rare in all grades, the mintage a scant 6,887 pieces. Most of the circulated survivors that we have handled over the years are impaired due to damage and/or cleaning, the present example far superior in both technical quality and eye appeal. PCGS# 8340. NGC ID: 25WX. Click here for certification details from NGC.
