Description

1893-CC Five Dollar, MS63
Seldom Offered in This Condition

1893-CC $5 MS63 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Only 60,000 half eagles were struck at Carson City in 1893, the final year of production at the Nevada branch mint. Surviving examples in MS63 are rare, and finer pieces are out of reach for many collectors. This Select representative displays a sharp strike and satiny yellow-gold mint luster. Faint handling marks and hairlines in the fields are all that limit the grade, with no singular abrasions in evidence. Population: 20 in 63 (2 in 63+), 8 finer (1/19).(Registry values: P2)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
