Lot Description

Condition Census 1892-CC $5 Gold 1892-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. Die State III. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A impressive Choice example that has few rivals among extant 1892-CC half eagles. Bathed in a blend of vivid honey-rose color and appealing mint luster, the surfaces are very smooth and visually appealing. A bold to sharp strike adds to this coin's desirability. The penultimate Carson City Mint half eagle, the 1892-CC is one of the more readily obtainable issues in this popular mintmarked gold series. It is much scarcer than the 1891-CC, however, especially in Mint State. This attractive and rare PCGS/CAC MS-63 ranks solidly in the Condition Census and is sure to appeal to advanced Carson City Mint enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
