Description

1882-CC Liberty Half Eagle, MS61
Rare Any Finer

1882-CC $5 MS61 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1882-CC Liberty half eagle enjoyed a substantial mintage (in the context of the series) of 82,817 pieces. The issue circulated heavily in the regional economy at the time of issue and few high-quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors. Accordingly, the 1882-CC is not difficult to locate in circulated grades, but it is rarely seen in MS61 condition, and finer coins are prime condition rarities.

This is an impressive Mint State example with sharp definition on all design elements. Lustrous orange-gold surfaces show fewer than expected contact marks for the grade. The overall presentation is most attractive. Census: 20 in 61, 8 finer (7/24).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XH, PCGS# 8359, Greysheet# 9075)
