Description
1893-CC Liberty Five Dollar, MS65
Tied for Finest Certified at Either Service
1893-CC $5 MS65 NGC. Variety 2-A. A technically superior
Carson City half eagle: a true Gem in every sense of the word, with
coppery-rose highlights intermixed with the attractive orange-gold,
natural patina. Fortified by the Eric P. Newman provenance, this
coin stands out among three others as the finest certified at NGC,
and PCGS has yet to grade an example in MS65 or finer (8/14). The
margins have prooflike qualities surrounding the stars and legend,
while a thin layer of mint frost appears elsewhere over the fields
and devices. The strike is essentially full on the star centers,
Liberty's curls, and the eagle. Those who require the finest
example of this final-year for Carson City half eagles will be
hard-pressed to improve on this lustrous, exceptional coin.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: P2)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
