1876-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar Good
The year 1876 marked a significant era in American history, and this silver half dollar offers a tangible connection to that period. Minted in the famous frontier town of Carson City, Nevada, the coin bears the distinctive 'CC' mint mark. Struck in 90 percent silver with a metal content of 0.3599 troy ounces, this piece represents the workhorse coinage that circulated during the late nineteenth century. On the obverse, the design by Christian Gobrecht features Lady Liberty seated upon a rock. She holds a pole topped with a liberty cap in one hand while her other hand rests on a shield decorated with the word 'LIBERTY'. The reverse displays a powerful eagle perched on a branch, grasping three arrows in its talons, with a shield emblazoned across its chest. The surrounding inscriptions include 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and the denomination 'HALF DOL.'
