Lot Description

Deep, rich honey-gold color with vivid reddish-rose patina nestled in many of the protected areas. The peripheries are soft in isolated areas, but all major design elements are at least discernible, and most are boldly outlined. There are no significant marks on smooth, premium quality surfaces. In a series well known for condition rarities, the 1875-CC half eagle stands out as one of the most challenging and Mint State examples are extraordinarily elusive. Estimates vary as to the total number of extant specimens at the circulated level, from as few as 90 to as many as 150. Experts agree that there are only two confirmed Mint State examples. For collectors that find the higher grade coins out of reach either due to cost or unavailability, this CAC-approved survivor at the VG level offers history and numismatic desirability at a more affordable price point.
