Description
1883-CC Five Dollar, AU Details
Challenging Carson City Issue
1883-CC $5 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Winter
1-A. The Carson City Mint struck just 12,858 half eagles in
1883, and with PCGS showing only nine pieces in Mint State,
AU-level pieces are in demand (10/25). This example shows slight
wear on the high points with good details otherwise. The green-gold
patina is warm and lustrous, and only a slightly soft strike shows
on the central devices. Hairlines indicate cleaning, but with
high-end pieces so elusive, this AU-level half eagle is an
attractive alternative for type collectors.
Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
