1893-CC $5 MS61 NGC

From a mintage of 60,000, only an estimated 800 examples of the 1893 Carson City Liberty Head Half Eagle gold coins remain today, a scarcity attributed to widespread circulation and melting. It stands as the scarcest among the 1890 CC mint Liberty Head Half Eagles. Despite its assigned grade, this coin is remarkably attractive, showcasing pinpoint sharp motifs. The swirling mint frost suggests a near GEM grade, while its tangerine gold color is enhanced by visible original mint bloom. As the final year Carson City coin, this piece holds significant importance and is bound to captivate astute collectors. The absence of any noticeable marks or hits may prompt you to wonder why it did not end up in a 62 holder. This example ranks among the more desirable specimens we have encountered. Last NGC MS61 sale was 3 years ago for $3,480 12/21 HA. Wholesale Greysheet bid is $3,840.
