Owner's Comments

CAC green sticker. WB-9, R4. CAC data as of 11/25/25: 70 total, 8 on grade, 42 higher. Comment from DKRC website: A wonderfully choice, original coin, and devilishly tough to find as such. This date is priced at just a small premium to the 1876-CC in the CAC Price Guide, which I find a bit odd, as I think this is by far the toughest of the “common date” CC issues…especially when found so choice. This coin has one old mark of note, paralleling the nose, but is otherwise essentially perfect, and honestly challenges many XF45’s I’ve seen in terms of not only wear, but appeal as well. A bit pricey, but worth it. According to Q. David Bowers in a "Guide Book of Liberty Seated Silver Coins", these coins are plentiful in circulated grades, the first Carson City half dollar for which this can be said. All coins of this issue have the Medium CC mintmarks.

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1875-CC Half Dollar is semi-scarce, but those two little letters on the reverse (the CC mintmark) add a lot of value. In Mint State, collectors have the option of choosing between dozens of MS62, MS63, and MS64 examples. Only in MS65 does this date become truly rare, and anything finer is exceedingly rare. Two of the finest examples of this date are those from the Battle Born and Eugene Gardner collections (see the Condition Census below).

The 1875-CC Half Dollar usually comes with a crisp strike and good eye appeal. The luster is most often creamy or frosty and, less frequently, brilliant.
