Description

Important 1882-CC Liberty Five, MS62

1882-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. A single die pair is identified for the 1882-CC half eagles, rather surprising given the mintage of 82,817 coins. Examination of multiple examples may yield a second die pair, but this piece matches the Variety 1-A description. The finest examples that we have handled since 1993 include a single MS63 NGC coin, three MS62 NGC coins that appeared in five sales, and one MS62 ANACS coin that appeared in two sales.
This lovely example is different from those and certainly qualifies for the Condition Census of the date. Both sides are fully lustrous with rich orange-gold brilliance and minor grade-consistent marks on each side. The combined PCGS and NGC census is 11 pieces in MS62 with one finer. Population: 4 in 62, 0 finer (11/10).
