Lot Description

1892-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. Die State II. MS-62 (PCGS). This handsome piece exhibits warm golden-apricot patina to fully lustrous surfaces. Sharply struck with an uncommonly smooth appearance for the assigned grade. 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 Mint State. This premium quality BU coin is sure to catch the eye of advanced Carson City Mint enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8380. NGC ID: 25Y7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
