1879-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Very scarce in all
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1879-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Very scarce in all grades, as one can easily believe from looking at the mintage of only 17,281 pieces. Virtually all survivors saw extensive circulation in the frontier years of the West and very few specimens remain today as high as AU condition, with just four coins graded in Mint State, by both of the major services combined. This lustrous example is certainly among the finest '79-CC half eagles that we have seen, and ranks at or near the top of the Condition Census scale for the issue. Well struck on the obverse and, except for a number of light, superficial field marks, almost abrasion-free. The reverse shows little of the expected softness on the eagle. Population: 23 in 58, 3 finer (4/04). <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. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
