1881-CC Liberty Half Eagle, MS62
Rarely Seen Finer

1881-CC $5 MS62 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1881-CC Liberty half eagle claims a mintage of 13,886 pieces, making the issue elusive in all grades today. High-grade examples are accordingly difficult to locate. Rusty Goe's recent reference on Nevada coinage, The Confident Carson City Collector, provides an estimate of 115 to 150 coins extant with just five or six examples in Mint State. This attractive MS62 specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements and lightly marked orange-gold surfaces, with vibrant mint luster and outstanding eye appeal. This coin should find a home in a fine collection or Registry Set. Census: 2 in 62, 3 finer (1/22).
