Rare High Grade 1872-CC Half Eagle 1872-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-B. AU-50 (PCGS). Pretty pinkish-rose highlights enliven a base of rich honey-orange color on both sides of this handsome piece. The strike is a bit soft at isolated central high points, characteristic of the issue, but it is sharp to full otherwise. Frosty luster is very much in evidence on surfaces that are impressively smooth for the assigned grade. The 1872-CC (16,980 coins struck) is much rarer than the 1871-CC in all grades and is tied with the 1873-CC as the second rarest Carson City Mint half eagle in high grades (after the 1878-CC). Apart from a solitary grading event in NGC MS-60, the 1872-CC is unknown in Mint State. As an attractive AU survivor, the offered coin is just shy of Condition Census for the issue. Fit for inclusion in an advanced numismatic cabinet. PCGS Population: 9; 23 finer (AU-58 finest at this service). PCGS# 8326. NGC ID: 25WG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
