Description

1890-CC Half Eagle, MS63+
Luminous Sun-Orange Surfaces

1890-CC $5 MS63+ PCGS Secure. Variety 1-A. The Mint State availability of this Carson City issue declines rapidly in grades finer than MS62, and it is a rarity in Gem condition. This Plus-graded Select example offers collectors an ideal balance of price and grade. Frosty original luster shimmers with rich orange-gold color. Only a few tiny abrasions are visible. Strike weakness appears on the hair curls around Liberty's face and the eagle's neck, although the overall definition is pleasing. Population: 46 in 63 (5 in 63+), 35 finer (10/18).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25Y3, PCGS# 8376, Greysheet# 9085)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
