Description

1884-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.

This vivid, undeniably original example exhibits lovely color in a blend of deep honey and brighter orange-gold. The strike is boldly to sharply executed throughout, and ample luster remains confirming the impressive Choice AU grade from PCGS. The 1884-CC is the final Carson City Mint half eagle struck prior to 1890, and it is scarce, with only 16,402 pieces produced. Survivors number only 145 to 190 coins in all grades (per Rusty Goe, 2020). With only a handful of Mint State pieces extant, this premium near-Mint offering from the Hendricks Set is sure to appeal to advanced bidders.

PCGS# 8365. NGC ID: 25XP.

PCGS Population: 18; 3 finer (MS-62 finest).

From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.

Estimate: $ 9000
