<B>1882-CC $5 MS62 NGC.</B></I> The 1882 Carson City half eagle mintage was larger than normal at 82,817 coins. However, few examples were saved. Most of the coins produced either circulated in the local Nevada economy or were transported to fulfill the need for circulating gold coinage elsewhere. <BR> As of (3/08), NGC has certified only six examples of the issue in MS62, with a single MS63 finer, while PCGS has certified four coins in MS62, with none finer. Eliminating a reasonable factor for duplications and crossovers from one service to another, it appears likely that as few as a half-dozen distinct pieces may grade as high as the present coin.<BR> Deep apricot-gold coloration is evident on each side, with good luster and much appeal. Although a few grade-consistent abrasions are present, none are overly distracting. A series of short, parallel lines near the rim, visible with a loupe just below the denticles and above ITED ST, appear to be of Mint origin and do not much detract. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
