1878-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Good-6 (PCGS).

Pleasing dove and golden-gray toning blankets overall smooth-looking surfaces. The final Carson City Mint half dollar issue, the 1878-CC was produced to the extent of just 62,000 pieces. The efforts of the Nevada coinage facility that year were largely focused on the newly authorized Morgan silver dollar and, indeed, some portion of the mintage for the 1878-CC half dollar may have been melted in the Mint to provide bullion for its higher denomination counterpart. Those half dollars that entered circulation stayed there until worn out or lost. Even in appealing Good preservation, as here, the 1878-CC represents a significant find in today's market.
