Lot Description

High Condition Census 1892-CC Half Eagle 1892-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. Die State II. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. A impressive Choice example that has few rivals among extant 1892-CC half eagles. Bathed in a blend of vivid rose-orange color and appealing mint luster, the surfaces are very smooth and visually appealing. A bold to sharp strike adds to this coin's desirability.
