详细说明

From the Oak Crest Collection. In 1882 the mintage "yo-yo" continued, with 82,817 coins struck, the highest mintage of half eagles since the mint opened in 1870. Survival estimates range from source to source, but go as high as perhaps 750-950 in all grades. Near the top of the condition census, and is tied in grade with the Old West/Battle Born Collection coin, PCGS has graded just a single MS62+ finer (and NGC lists a single coin in each 62+ and 63). Rich orange in color, the surfaces are somewhat grainy in texture, but the surfaces show a strong underlying brilliance. The devices are very nicely struck, and both sides show essentially full, crisp definition. Despite the texture, the eye appeal is quite nice! PCGS 7, NGC 5. Our consignor bought this coin in 2007, but it does not match the two NGC MS62s sold that year. It seems to match the description of the coin in the September 1999 Goldberg sale: "This is a pretty satisfying example, kept from the 63 level by a diminishment of luster, not by its general look. A rare coin this nice." That did not meet reserve, but we cannot plate match it. Since 2011, all PCGS graded MS62s that have sold in auction brought in the general $14,000-$15,000 range. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $17,500 and keep in mind that the 62+ has not yet sold in auction (the NGC 62+ sold for $18,800 in 2015). This 82-CC presents a great opportunity for any Carson City gold collector, don't let it pass you by! Cert. Number 33202088 PCGS # 8359
