1883-CC Half Eagle, AU58
Better Carson City Issue

1883-CC $5 AU58 ANACS. Variety 1-A. The low mintage of 12,958 pieces makes this Carson City date a scarcity in any condition, and rare in high About Uncirculated grades such as this coin. David Akers called the 1883-CC half eagle "very rare and underrated in all grades...and is nearly as rare as the 1881-CC." This example is brilliant wheat-gold with a full strike. Other than a noticeable reeding mark to the right of the eagle's head, the coin shows very few abrasions and nearly full luster. A borderline Uncirculated example with excellent eye appeal.
