Liberty Half Eagles
1879-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. A scarce and sought-after Carson City issue, the 1879-CC half eagle (only 17,281 coins struck) becomes a genuine rarity in the finer AU grades, and Mint State coins are out of reach for most enthusiasts. PCGS estimates only 250 pieces survive, with possibly as few as three distinct pieces in Uncirculated condition. The present example is well-struck and has only slight high-point friction. The surfaces are smooth, yielding luminous luster and light orange-gold color. Eye appeal exceeds expectations for the grade and issue. Population: 13 in 58, 6 finer (1/17).
