1878-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. VF-25 (PCGS).Attractively original surfaces exhibit wisps of vivid reddish-rose iridescence to warm orange and olive-gold patina. Boldly defined for the grade with an exceptionally smooth appearance for a Carson City Mint gold coin that saw this extensive circulation. One of just 9,045 examples of the issue produced, a modest figure for the era, although typical of many 1870s Carson City Mint gold issues. With most circulated survivors impaired due to damage and/or cleaning, this premium quality VF will certainly catch the eye of astute bidders.From the Drummer Collection.
