详细说明

1875-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 2-B. VF-35 (PCGS). CAC. Light pinkish-rose highlights enliven otherwise deep honey-gold surfaces on both sides of this wonderfully original example. Pleasingly smooth with plenty of bold detail remaining to the major design elements. In a series well known for condition rarities, the 1875-CC half eagle stands out as one of the most challenging. Mint State examples are extraordinarily elusive for this issue. Estimates vary as to the total number of extant specimens at the circulated level, from as few as 90 to as many as 150. All the experts agree that there are only two confirmed Mint State examples known. For collectors that find the higher grade coins out of reach either due to cost or unavailability - which are obviously most numismatists in today's market - this handsome mid grade survivor offers quality, history and numismatic desirability at a somewhat more affordable price point. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. CAC Population: 28 in all grades. PCGS# 8337. NGC ID: 25WU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
