- Premium Choice Uncirculated 1890-CC Half Eagle 1890-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Offered is a noteworthy condition rarity from this otherwise more obtainable Carson City Mint half eagle issue. Frosty golden-rose surfaces are remarkably smooth and well preserved, the quality temptingly close to an even higher Choice Mint State grade. The central high points are soft, but otherwise we note razor sharp detail imparted by a generally well executed strike. The 1890-CC is the first Carson City Mint half eagle produced since 1884 and, while it is rightly regarded as a common issue in this mintmarked gold series, Mint State survivors are challenging, and premium quality survivors such as the present example are rare, especially when scaled against the strong demand that Carson City Mint coinage enjoys. A significant find for the specialist, and a coin that is sure to see spirited competition between bidders. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 6; 40 finer (MS-66 finest). CAC Population: 16; 10. The former total includes coins certified both MS-63 and MS-63+. PCGS# 8376. NGC ID: 25Y3.
