Description

1893-CC Half Eagle, AU58
Eye-Appealing Color and Strong Definition

1893-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Winter 1-A. This is a partially prooflike AU58 survivor exhibits eye appealing orange-gold color and a sharp strike throughout both sides. Light abrasions and tiny marks pepper the obverse and the reverse, yet this coin displays nearly Mint State definition. Three die pairs are known for the 1893-CC half eagles, used to produce a 60,000-piece mintage in the final year of coining operations at the Carson City Mint. A spike from the dentil opposite the bust tip and the mintmark with its second C slightly higher than the first C confirms this variety.
