1893-CC Half Eagle, Beautiful MS64+
Sole Finest at PCGS

1893-CC $5 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. The date is far left under the bust truncation, and the 1 is centered over a dentil. The half eagle mintages at the fabled Carson City Mint ended with a whimper in 1893 of 60,000 coins, which was nonetheless the largest gold coin production of the three denominations struck. Most of those coins circulated extensively, making this beautiful MS64+ PCGS example a noteworthy exception. The honey-gold surfaces display top-notch eye appeal and brilliant luster on well-preserved surfaces that are free of major marks. Wispy die cracks on each side connect many of the peripheral elements. A great-looking coin, and the sole finest at PCGS. Population: 7 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (7/15).(Registry values: P2)

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