- Underrated 1883-CC Half Eagle Rarity 1883-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Seldom have we offered 1883-CC half eagles of comparable quality, originality and eye appeal to the present Fairmont specimen. Bathed in softly frosted luster, both sides are enhanced by beautiful color in vivid deep honey and orange-gold. All design elements are boldly to sharply rendered, and the surfaces are exceptionally smooth for both the issue and the assigned grade. Despite the recognized low mintage of 12,598 pieces, the 1883-CC half eagle is one of the more underrated rarities from the Nevada branch mint. Attractive problem free survivors are elusive at all levels of preservation, representing a tiny fraction of the 100 to 130 coins that Rusty Goe (2020) believes are extant. The author's estimate at the EF and AU levels is no more than 95 coins. The offering of this premium Choice AU example is a significant bidding opportunity that should not be missed.
