详细说明

From the Oak Crest Collection. One of the finest surviving examples of this lower mintage date. Yet again, the year following a generous mintage, the 83-CC dropped to 12,958. Doug Winter wrote, "In my opinion, the 1883-CC half eagle is considerably rare than generally acknowledged, especially in higher grades." This agrees with David Akers notes where he stated, "I have only seen two strictly uncirculated examples." PCGS CoinFacts and the 2001 reference note that perhaps 3-4 Mint State coins exist. A few more than that are listed on the population reports, but since they are clustered at 61, they probably represent some duplicate submissions. Well struck throughout with a bold, satiny mint frost on both sides. Medium, honey-wheat toned golden surfaces have a very nice brilliance, particularly around the devices. Under close inspection there are a few tiny lines that can be seen, as well as an insignificant bag mark or two, but none detract from the nice eye appeal that this Condition Census 83-CC has. PCGS 0, NGC 2. Neither of these NGC coins have been sold via auction. Our consignor purchased this coin in 2007 and is not the former PCGS MS61 that sold in the February 2007 Goldberg auction for $14,950 (which is #3 in the 2001 census. An NGC MS61 sold in August 2014 for $18,213. Only a single PCGS MS63 (ex Battle Born Collection) is graded finer. That coin brought $43,125 in August 2012. Since no PCGS MS62 has been graded, there is no Collector's Universe value assigned; in MS61 it is $21,500 and in MS63 it is $44,000. Certainly this coin is worth a bid somewhere within that wide range. Here is a VERY RARE and important opportunity for any advanced CC gold collector! Do not take it lightly. Cert.
