- Landmark Mint State 1880-CC Half Eagle The Only CAC-Approved Example 1880-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 2-C. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. This thoroughly PQ example is fully lustrous with a lovely frosty texture. Razor sharp striking detail and undeniably original honey-gold and light orange colors provide further appeal. The mintage for this issue is 51,107 pieces, a generous total for a pre-1890 Carson City Mint half eagle, and 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 EF grades, and even in properly graded AU-50 the 1880-CC can be difficult to locate. Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe (2020) accounts for just 14 to 16 Mint State survivors. The Fairmont-JBR specimen offered here is a newcomer to the Condition Census for this issue, and as the sole CAC-approved example its significance for advanced gold enthusiasts can hardly be overstated. We expect this landmark rarity to sell for an exceptionally strong premium - plan your bidding strategy accordingly. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 5; 7 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 1 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8352. NGC ID: 25XB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
