Description

1891-CC $5 MS62 PCGS. CAC. One of the last of the fabled Carson City Mint's half eagle issues, here an attractive two-toned example, yellow-gold at the centers merging with khaki-gold near the rims. A tiny copper spot appears on Liberty's cheek and some brownish patina localized on the reverse, but the strike is bold and much appeal remains on this relatively unabraded piece.
