Description
1878-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. VG-10 (PCGS). CAC.
The final Carson City Mint half dollar, 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. As a problem free Choice VG with original coin-gray surfaces, the offered example represents a scarce find in today's market.
PCGS# 6359. NGC ID: 24KP.
CAC Stickered Population: 36 in all grades.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Merrill Collection, February 2018 Long Beach Signature Auction, lot 4790.
