This was struck at the Carson City Mint to honor the coin that never was - the 1885-CC Coronet Half Eagle! The Carson City Mint did not produce any gold Half Eagles that year, ending production until 1890. Throughout history, collectors have always had a desperate craving for the scarcest coins available.
This coin is composed of .900 fine gold, the same as the original coin which would have been minted. Including it's copper balance, the coin weighs 8.35 g. This commemorative was actually struck using slightly modified dyes at the Carson City Mint in 2015! This makes these coins extremely unique in that they are nearly identical to the design that the 1885 Half Eagles would have been! These coins are not legal tender however - the modifications to the dye included removing the denomination from the strike. It is a private issue commemorative.
