Exciting 1872-CC Half Eagle Unknown in Mint State 1872-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-B. AU-53 (PCGS). Offered is one of the finest 1872-CC half eagles available to today's advanced gold collectors and Carson City Mint enthusiasts. It is a wonderfully original coin dressed in vivid pinkish-rose and warmer honey-olive colors. Abundant mint frost remains to surfaces that are exceptionally smooth and problem free. This is not a well struck issue, and while we note characteristic softness through the centers, there is also considerable sharpness of detail toward the borders. Both the quality and eye appeal are exceptional. 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. Unlike the 1870-CC, 1871-CC and 1873-CC, the 1872-CC is unknown in Mint State. As a premium quality AU survivor, the offered coin from the Fairmont Collection is just shy of Condition Census for the issue. Fit for inclusion in the finest numismatic cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 9; 13 finer (AU-58 finest). There are also no Mint State examples listed at NGC. PCGS# 8326. NGC ID: 25WG.
