Liberty Half Eagles
1881-CC $5 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU Details. Variety 1-A. Coming from a mintage of only 13,886 pieces, the 1881-CC half eagle is scarce in all grades. Mint State examples are prohibitively rare. This AU-level coin displays bold detail and bright yellow-gold color, although the eagle's neck is incompletely struck. The fields are lightly marked and hairlined from an old cleaning but remain pleasing to the unaided eye.
