Lot Description

1892-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely yellow-gold surfaces with hues of warm rose toning surrounding the peripheries. A glass reveals a sharp strike with the devices well defined and ample luster at the Choice AU grade level. The penultimate Carson City Mint half eagle, the 1892-CC is one of the more readily obtainable issues in this perennially popular mintmarked gold series. It is much scarcer than the 1891-CC, however, especially in finest circulated and Mint State grades, as here. PCGS# 8380. NGC ID: 25Y7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
