1875-CC $5 VF20 PCGS CAC

The 1875-CC Half Eagle ranking among the key rarities of the series. Struck to a mintage of just 11,828 pieces, with an estimated 150 survivors known today, this 1875-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle is an exceptionally scarce issue in all grades and especially elusive with CAC approval. This pleasing VF20 PCGS CAC example displays attractive original honey-gold surface and even and honest circulation wear that are notably free of the heavy abrasions so often encountered on Carson City gold. The remaining detail is bold for the grade, and the coin possesses the wholesome originality and eye appeal that advanced collectors prize. With no recorded CAC-approved VF20 examples having appeared at public auction, opportunities to acquire a coin of this caliber are exceedingly rare. The issue boasts a PCGS population of only 6 in VF20 with 82 finer, while CAC has approved just 2 examples in VF20 with only 17 finer, underscoring its exceptional rarity in premium circulated preservation. PCGS Price Guide: $7,000 | CAC Price Guide: $6,000. No recent comps in any grade except an XF45 PCGS CAC for $18,300 06/26 HA and a VG08 PCGS CAC for $4,329 09/26 SB. An important Carson City rarity that is certain to command strong interest from specialists in Western gold and Liberty Head half eagles. Bear in mind acquiring a VG example will cost about $5,000 and finding a CAC example under $10K for this popular date represents great value.
