- Underrated 1883-CC Half Eagle Rarity 1883-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Rarely have we offered 1883-CC half eagles of comparable quality, originality and eye appeal to the present Fairmont-Hendricks specimen. Bathed in softly frosted luster, both sides are enhanced by beautiful color in vivid deep rose and honey-orange. All design elements are fully 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 (20)0 believes are extant. The author's estimate at the Mint State level dwindles to just six to eight coins, the addition of this newcomer to the market pushing the number to the upper reaches of Goe's range. Any issue with fewer than 10 Uncirculated coins extant is a formidable condition rarity, of course, and this is our first offering of a Mint State 1883-CC in nearly a decade. A significant bidding opportunity that should not be missed. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 2; 2 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 3; 1. PCGS# 8362.
