 Original $3850 New April 2! Key Carson City Issue, Near-Choice Original.. Carson City coinage is among the most desired in the entire Seated series, with low mintage figures appearing frequently in the Guide Book. Within the half dollars, the 1870-CC, 1874-CC, and 1878-CC coins are the keys to the Carson City set, and examples in all grades are highly prized. The present VF30 piece is remarkably advanced in the PCGS census, in the top 30% of all examples, as most survivors tend to be highly worn. This lightly toned coin exhibits silver-gray color on both sides, more intensely on the reverse. A few field lines are consistent with the VF30 grade. The bold, all-important CC mintmark signifies the rarity of this well-preserved Branch Mint example. PCGS notes 196 coins total, with 11 pieces in VF30 and 45 examples finer. The PCGS price guide value in VF30 is $5,000. Housed in PCGS Gen 3.1 (1993-1998) holder. PCGS #6359
