- 1880-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 2-C. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.
A pleasingly original example in a CC-Mint gold coin, both sides are richly toned in deep honey-rose. Quite smooth overall with plenty of bold detail remaining where strike allows. The mintage for this issue is 51,107 pieces, a generous total for a pre-1890 Carson City Mint half eagle. It should come as no surprise to read, therefore, that the 1880-CC is one of the more readily obtainable issues in this mintmarked gold series. On the other hand, the typical survivor is well worn, usually in VF or low end EF grades, and even at the threshold of AU preservation the 1880-CC can be difficult to locate. This is one of the nicest examples at this level that we can ever recall offering, a richly original and highly attractive coin destined for inclusion in an advanced gold cabinet.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
PCGS# 8352. NGC ID: 25XB.
