Description

1882-CC Half Eagle, MS62
Nearly Unobtainable Finer

1882-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1882-CC had a reasonable mintage of 82,817 pieces, but its emission preceded the large-scale export of U.S. gold coins to foreign shores. Thus, most of the thousand or so survivors are in circulated grades. Mint State pieces number a few dozen, and among those, only a handful have comparable eye appeal with the present peach-gold representative. The well struck surfaces show clash marks, but abrasions are unimportant relative to the grade. Practically unobtainable finer, as only a single example has been certified as MS63 by NGC, along with one coin each as MS62+ by NGC and PCGS. Population: 12 in 62 (1 in 62+), 0 finer (7/22).
Ex: Baltimore Auction (Stack's, 3/2012), lot 4319.
