Description

Impressive 1890-CC Half Eagle, MS64

1890-CC $5 MS64 NGC. A hoard of between 20 and 30 Uncirculated 1890-CC half eagles entered the market in the fall of 1996, a number of which were in the MS62 to MS64 range (Douglas Winter, 2001). Near-Gems such as the example in the present lot, however, are still scarce. The issue remains very rare in Gem and above.
Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit well struck design elements, save for the usual minor weakness on the eagle's neck and breast and obverse rim. Minute obverse marks deny Gem classification. Census: 28 in 64, 4 finer (1/10).(Registry values: P2)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
