Ex Heritage 9/2003:7982. Winter 1-B. The earlier sale describes this handsome piece accordingly: &#34;Although its mintage of 20,770 pieces is comparatively high for a Carson City Half Eagle, the &#39;71-CC is a difficult issue in all grades and a significant condition rarity, with pieces grading as high as XF representing an extremely desirable grade for the issue. In the Akers&#39; book on Half Eagles and in the Winter/Cutler reference on Carson City gold coins, just two Mint State 1871-CC fives are mentioned by the authors, the best known being the Akers&#39; plate coin, a veteran of two apostrophe sales &#40;Auction &#39;79 and Auction &#39;80&#41;. This Condition Census representative is a bright yellow-gold with adequate sharpness on the central details. A pair of tiny round marks above the top arrow point could serve as a p edigree marker in the future.&#34; <B>Pop 4; 2 finer; 1 in 61; 1 in 63.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8323&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;20,000-22,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 106002<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/106002.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/106002N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
