Popular 1893-CC Half Eagle, Select Mint State

1893-CC $5 MS63 NGC. The 1893-CC is a popular type coin not only because of its relative availability, but also because of its status as the final issue of Carson City half eagles. Yellow-orange patina drapes each side, with peppered russet and rose throughout. Flashy luster shines from the fields and enhances the eye appeal. A few minor marks in the fields limit the grade, but all are insignificant. An even 60,000 pieces were struck. Census: 21 in 63, 11 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YB, PCGS# 8384, Greysheet# 9090)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
