1893-CC $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle AU-53 NGC
In 1893, the Carson City Mint struck a limited run of just 60,000 gold half eagles, marking the final year of five-dollar gold coin production at the famous Nevada facility. This particular specimen survives today as a fascinating relic of late nineteenth-century American coinage, certified in About Uncirculated AU 53 condition. The obverse features the classic Liberty design, with the date 1893 clearly visible beneath her portrait. On the reverse, the distinctive CC mint mark is positioned below the eagle, indicating its origin in the American West. Composed of 90 percent gold and containing 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal, this coin represents a historic moment when the Carson City facility permanently ceased its gold coin operations.
