1882-CC Five Dollar, MS61
Reddish-Gold Surfaces
Low Survival Rate

1882-CC $5 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1882-CC claims the third highest mintage among the 19 Carson City half eagle issues put out between 1870 and 1893. A total of 82,817 coins were struck, making the date appear relatively plentiful. However, Rusty Goe (2020) suggests a survival rate of less than 1% and estimates that only 27 to 30 examples exist in Mint State, the finest of which grade MS63.

This MS61 representative follows closely behind. Its frosty, reddish-gold surfaces should appeal to the most discerning Nevada mint enthusiasts. The stars are strongly defined, as are the eagle's feathers and talons. Small ticks, including a few hairlines, and partially subdued luster in the open fields explain the grade, but this Uncirculated 1882-CC half eagle would be incredibly challenging to upgrade.(Registry values: P3)
