Lot Description

1876-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Fine-15 (PCGS). Attractive khaki-gold surfaces are pleasingly original in preservation and free of significant blemishes. All major design elements are bold, and some sharper detail remains in the eagle's plumage. 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 lower end 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 PCGS.
