Lot 1954
1871-CC. Sharpness of Fine, holed and cleaned. In 1871 at Carson City, 20,770 half eagles were struck, nearly all of which saw heavy circulation. This example is not an exception, as it has been holed, plugged, and cleaned. The repair was crudely done. Perhaps just 90 to 120 examples are extant in all grades, and many collectors have "settled" for a coin such as this.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
