- 1875-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-10. Rarity-3. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. This bright, frosty example is brilliant apart from blushes of iridescent golden-apricot here and there around the peripheries. Boldly struck with carefully preserved surfaces that border on full Gem quality. The Carson City Mint produced its greatest number of half dollars to date in 1875 with a mintage of 1,008,000 coins. The facility would produce even more examples of this denomination in 1876 and 1877 as the Treasury Department strove to meet the perceived need for new half dollars when specie payment resumed in April 1876. Although the 1875-CC is one of the three most readily obtainable Carson City Mint issues in the Liberty Seated half dollar series, it is far scarcer than the 1876-CC and 1877-CC, especially in Mint State, at which level the 1875-CC is highly underrated. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Earlier ex Superior's H.W. Blevins Estate and George Bodway Collections sale, June 1988, lot 5884. PCGS Population: 32; 11 finer (MS-66+ finest).
