<B>1875-CC 50C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Compared to the Carson City Mint's half dollar output in 1874 of 59,000 pieces, 1875-CC half dollar production skyrocketed to 1,008,000 coins. In fact, more half dollars were manufactured in Carson City in 1875 than that mint had produced in the five preceding years combined.<BR> Though not a major rarity in the Carson City series, the 1875-CC is much scarcer than the date's mintage would suggest. Indeed, mid- and high-grade Mint State examples are quite elusive, as can be gleaned from certified population figures; fewer than 50 specimens have been graded MS64 or better.<BR> The Premium Gem in this lot is one of the two finest certified examples! Intense luster radiates from surfaces lightly toned in golden-tan, and are devoid of all but a few grade-consistent ticks. The design elements benefit from a well executed strike, with no areas showing signs of weakness. All in all, this coin generates great eye appeal. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
