1892-CC $5 MS63+ 认证号43881010, PCGS号8380

High Condition Census 1892-CC Half Eagle 1892-CC Liberty Head Half Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. Die State II. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. A impressive Choice example that has few rivals among extant 1892-CC half eagles. Bathed in a blend of vivid rose-orange color and appealing mint luster, the surfaces are very smooth and visually appealing. A bold to sharp strike adds to this coin's desirability. The penultimate Carson City Mint half eagle, the 1892-CC is one of the more readily obtainable issues in this popular mintmarked gold series. It is much scarcer than the 1891-CC, however, especially in Mint State. This attractive PCGS MS-63+ ranks high in the Condition Census and is sure to appeal to advanced Carson City Mint enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 3; with a single MS-64 finer. CAC Population: 8; 0.

David Akers' comments on this date are right on.  The 1892-CC is one of the most common CC-Mint Half Eagles, and it is far less common than the 1891-CC.  Less than twenty percent of the examples certified by PCGS are Mint State, and most of those are either MS62 or MS63.  The low grades are usually the result of excessive bagmarks, caused by careless conveyance as they travelled cross-country.  The very best example is an NGC MS66, believed to be the former PCGS MS65 from the 1/1990 Superior sale, where it set a record price that has not yet been beaten.

The 1892-CC is one of the most common Carson City Half Eagles and is approximately equal in overall rarity to the 1882-CC, 1890-CC and 1893-CC. It is decidedly more rare than the relatively common 1891-CC. Although uncirculated examples are occasionally available, VF or EF specimens are the most often encountered. Choice or gem quality pieces are rare and are seen less often than comparable quality coins dated 1890-CC or 1893-CC.
