Description

1893-CC Half Eagle, Bold MS64
Fantastic Final-Year Condition Rarity

1893-CC $5 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. The 1 in the date is centered mostly over a dentil, and the feather tip is over the middle of the second C in the mintmark. Fine peripheral cracks appear on each side. Sixty thousand five dollar gold coins were struck at the Nevada branch mint in 1893 before the facility's closure on June 1. Examples are available in the absolute sense, but strong collector demand and a lack of high-grade examples puts pressure on all survivors. This important near-Gem offering enjoys profound orange-gold color, swirling mint frost, and pinpoint-sharp motifs. Virtually impossible to improve upon. Population: 8 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 64, 0 finer (11/19).(Registry values: P2)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
