1892-CC Five Dollar, MS62+
Luminous Frosty Luster

1892-CC $5 MS62+ PCGS. Variety 1-A. CAC. Ex: Sierra Biker. From a mintage of 82,968 coins, the 1892-CC half eagle has a surviving population of about 1,000 to 1,200 coins, according to Rusty Goe's The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, Volume 3 (2020). Not too many are finer than this high-end MS62 representative, which displays luminous frosty luster over warm red-gold surfaces. Both sides exhibit good strike detail and scattered accents of lavender and powder-blue color, while marks are minimal. PCGS reports 21 finer submissions (6/21).
