Description
The 1875 (CC) Liberty Head Half Eagle is a Gold Half Eagle produced at the Carson City Mint as part of the Liberty Head Half Eagles 1839-1908 series. With a mintage of 11,828, this is a scarce issue — the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 56% of the year's production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. The 1875 has a very low Philadelphia mintage. The 1875-CC and 1875-S are more available. Struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, which operated from 1870 to 1893 and produced coins from Comstock Lode silver and gold — among the most collectible mintmarks in U.S. numismatics. Estimated market value ranges from $7.4K to $148K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams, 21.65 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #8337.
