Description

Scarce 1883-CC Half Eagle, Choice AU

1883-CC $5 AU55 NGC. A mintage of only 12,958 pieces places the 1883-CC in the scarce end of the spectrum, and it is the most difficult of any of the later Carson City fives. Orange-gold patina covers the surfaces of this briefly circulated example. Lots of luster is still present in the protected areas. There are number of light abrasions visible under magnification, but none are particularly noteworthy. A scarce and better grade example. Census: 23 in 55, 37 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)
