Lot 1963
1879-CC. PCGS graded AU-55. Traces of luster are still visible on the deep honey-gold surfaces of this attractive Carson City half eagle. Nicely struck with only light wear from circulation on the highpoints of the design. From a modest mintage of just 17,281 pieces, the vast majority of which saw heavy commercial use in the West. The typical condition for an 1879-CC half eagle is just VF to XF with an occasional AU -- PCGS has registered just four pieces grading Mint State, with the finest of those MS-62. A pleasing example of this conditionally elusive Carson City Mint half eagle. Pop 20; 24 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 8349) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
