Lot Description

Lovely pinkish-honey color blends with lively mint luster on both sides of this attractive example. The strike is bold to sharp throughout, the fields semi-reflective in finish, and the surfaces are exceptionally smooth for both the issue and 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. As one of the finer examples known to PCGS, this handsome piece is sure to catch the eye of advanced Carson City Mint enthusiasts.
