Description

1883-CC Half Eagle, AU50
Scarce With Original Color

1883-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Rian's Bequest. The Carson City Mint manufactured 12,598 half eagles in 1883, and about 1% of that total survives -- perhaps 100 to 130 coins. Few retain such attractive, original-looking surfaces as this AU50 representative. Reddish accents around the borders and devices join orange-gold color overall. High-point softness is expected, and the design remains strong for the grade. Population: 14 in 50, 59 finer. CAC: 3 in 50, 20 finer (11/21).
From The Rian's Bequest Collection. (Registry values: P3)
