Description
1882-CC Half Eagle, AU58
Swirling Luster, Imperceptible Friction
1882-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. Variety 2-A. Misplaced date digits
are seen within the dentils below the date. Eagle output at the
Carson City mint fell by nearly 75% between 1881 and 1882, with
production shifting to half eagles and double eagles. Only 6,764
ten dollar gold pieces were struck and most of them were put into
circulation. Few collectors, if any, bothered saving the 1882-CC
for posterity, as mintmark collecting was not yet in vogue.
High-grade survivors like this near-Mint coin are the result of
happenstance and few are known in better condition. The devices are
boldly struck with softness limited to the middle curls and
olive-leaves. Friction is imperceptible. Each side is awash in
swirling luster that gives this piece the look of an even higher
graded coin. Population: 22 in 58 (1 in 58+), 3 finer
(6/17).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2663, PCGS# 8696, Greysheet# 9497)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
