CONDITIONALLY SCARCE PCGS MS63+ 1893-CC $5 WITH CAC APPROVAL
A numismatically significant issue due to its status as the final year-of-issue for Carson City half eagles, the 1893-CC is still not easily located in properly graded MS63. In MS64, it remains very scarce with just six currently graded by PCGS (as well as two in MS64+). PCGS has never graded this date in MS65, and I seriously doubt such a coin exists.
This coin is fresh-to-the-market and it is notable for its 100% natural appearance. The color is an appealing medium gold while the luster is frosty and abundant. A few small, shallow scuffs are visible in the fields but, in my opinion, the plus grade which this coin received from PCGS is justifiable due to its overall PQ appearance.
Stack’s Bowers 4/2022: 5171, also graded PCGS/CAC MS63+, brought $22,800 and this is the only relevant comparable.
With non-CAC PCGS MS64 examples likely to cost $25,00 (if you can even find one), this seems like the highest sensible grade 1893-CC $5 for a high-end set of half eagles from this mint.
CAC has approved 46 in MS63 (plus another five in 63+) with 8 finer.
