Lot 915
1871-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Soft, subtle luster, some minor surfaces abrasions on both sides. A remarkable, extremely important coin from a popular mint and a long and popular series. The 1871-CC Half Eagle is tough in any grade -- most of the known examples grade EF or worse. AU examples are extremely rare and Mint State examples are represented by only two pieces, this being the second finest of the two (the only better one is a single NGC MS-63). To date, PCGS has graded NO Mint State examples of the date. A fabulous opportunity for the CC gold specialist.
Estimated Value $35,000 - 40,000.
