Lot Description

1877-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-104, Die Pair WB-11. Rarity-4. Type II Reverse, Medium CC. Repunched Date. MS-66 (NGC). Vying with the 1876-CC as the most plentiful Carson City Mint half dollar, the 1877-CC is widely regarded as a mintmarked type coin in most grades. As a premium-quality Gem, however, the conditionally rare nature of this issue cannot be denied. We offer here one of the finest-certified examples, a coin with richly toned surfaces and a hint of prooflike surface in the reverse field. Virtually full in strike, with smooth-looking surfaces and good vibrancy to the underlying luster. PCGS# 6356. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 5 in 66; 2 finer (68 the finest).
