1882-CC $5 MS62 NGC. While the 1882-CC may be one of the more available Carson City half eagles in higher grades, such availability is relative, particularly since no Select or finer examples are known to the collecting community. The solidly struck example offered here has satiny surfaces, pale orange-gold in color. Distracting marks are few, though a measure of grease is struck into the obverse, most notably at Liberty's cheek and neck and between 4 and 5 o'clock on the rim. Despite this, the overall appearance is pleasing with an air of originality. Tied for the finest certified by either NGC or PCGS, with populations of seven and four, respectively; these populations likely are artificially high, due to re-submissions (12/06). (PCGS# 8359)

1882-CC $5 MS62 ANACS. This Carson City Mint half eagle is one of the most common issues of the series. The mintage was 82,817 coins, third highest of the series behind 1891-CC (208,000) and 1892-CC (82,968). What is surprising about this issue is its rarity in the higher Mint State grades. It is actually an impossible rarity in grades higher than this coin. NGC and PCGS for example, have never certified any examples at a grade level higher than this coin. In fact, the status of this coin as one of the finest known examples means that it should garner considerable bidding activity. This piece has deep orange-gold color with frosty mint luster and exceptional surfaces. (PCGS# 8359)
