1882-CC Liberty Half Eagle, MS61
Rare Any Finer

1882-CC $5 MS61 PCGS. 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 rare in MS 61 condition, and finer coins are prime condition rarities.

The present coin is an impressive Mint State example, with sharp definition on all design elements and lustrous orange-gold surfaces that show fewer than expected contact marks, although there are some short parallel die striations at the reverse rim, between 9 and 10 o'clock. The overall presentation is most attractive. Population: 14 in 61, 10 finer (6/20).(Registry values: P3)

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