<B>1870-CC<$5> VG10 PCGS.</B></I> The first Half Eagle issue from the fledgling Carson City Mint, and also the rarest, although the 1878-CC is nearly as difficult. Only 7,675 pieces were struck, and these circulated for years with no regard given to their numismatic importance. This deep golden-brown example has some remaining definition on the left (facing) wing. The legends are clear, although the tops of UNITED and AMERICA have faded into the rim. A few faint marks, but nothing of relevance for the grade. An affordable representative of this famous Carson City rarity.<BR><I>From The Barry Donnell Collection.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
