1883-CC Five Dollar, AU58
Less Than 1% of the Mintage Survives

1883-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Half eagles were struck to the extent of 12,598 coins at the Nevada branch mint in 1883, but as Rusty Goe writes in The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, "Slightly less than one percent of the Carson City Mint's only stampings of half eagles from 1883 survives today." That equates to about 100 to 130 pieces, making any example of the 1883-CC five dollar scarce, regardless of condition.

This AU58 coin happens to be conditionally rare as well with only six to eight coins finer. Rich orange-gold surfaces show strong definition throughout. Wear is virtually unseen, and partial mint frost glows from each side. Population: 22 in 58, 8 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XL, PCGS# 8362, Greysheet# 9077)
