Lot Title: 1891-CC AU/lightly cleaned.
Description: 1891-CC serves very nicely for the type collector seeking a Carson City half-eagle, since it is a coin that is generally available and not terribly expensive. Details are near the upper end of the AU grade for this example, although obverse luster is a little disrupted by a light wipe. That said, the appearance is quite pleasing for the grade.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $525.00
High Estimate: $600.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

1148The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,050.00
1891-CC NGC AU-58.
Scruffy on either side as usual due to many tiny contact points, this near-mint example nevertheless exhibits considerable luster and virtually no wear at all. Indeed, it's a little surprising this...
939The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$1,400.00
1891-CC PCGS MS-61.
Collectors enjoy pursuing Carson City survivors from a mintage of 208,000 pieces, but 1891-CC is not really rare in most grades. MS-61 represents a compromise, with UNC coins always desirable, but...
889The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$775.00
1891-CC PCGS AU-55.
Amazingly original, marvelous wheat-gold patina dominates nearly the entire coin, except where tinges of lovely rouge toning trace a path around the devices. Plenty of luster remains evident,...
1104The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$400.00
1891-CC XF.
Obvious luster at the margins makes a clear case for an extremely-fine grade or (likely) better, with the only minor distraction being a single handling mark on the jaw. Both sides exhibit vintage...
1105The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$625.00
1891-CC PCGS AU-50.
Very popular for type purposes, as this is a readily available Carson City issue in the half-eagle series. Minimal luster remains for the grade, but fewer major marks than usual appear on either...
850The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$390.00
1891-CC XF details/lightly cleaned.
Thinly hairlined but glossy surfaces bear witness to an old cleaning, with much color recovered since. 1891-CC is a common half-eagle whose value derives from bullion content first, of course, and...
851The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$500.00
1891-CC AU.
More than enough luster percolates around the edges to allow for an AU-50 grade, and remaining definition is easily commensurate with that grade evaluation as well. 1891-CC is not scarce in absolute...
852The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$625.00
1891-CC PCGS AU-53.
Carson City gold is always popular, and even though 1891-CC is an available date in the half-eagle series, a premium is attached to the famed mintmark. This is a lightly worn example that retains a...
800The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$2,300.00
1891-CC NGC MS-63.
The 1891-CC half-eagle has the distinction of being the highest mintage (208,000) gold coin ever to leave the premises of the Carson City mint. There are several hundred certified at the MS-63 level...
1165The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$495.00
1891-CC PCGS XF-45.
An 1891-CC half-eagle graded XF-45 by PCGS. Numerous lines appear on the obverse.
1006The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$775.00
1891-CC NGC XF-45.
Highly original coin with pleasing, original tarnish embedded in the protected recesses. Mint luster encompasses the date area and can be seen glimmering through peripheral areas on the reverse as...
1007The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$600.00
1891-CC AU.
It is true that 1891-CC is a fairly common Carson City date in the half-eagle series (208, 000 minted), yet it is also fair to admit the enduring popularity of anything struck within the four walls of...
1008The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,550.00
1891-CC PCGS MS-62.
Technically, the MS-62 grade assigned by PCGS is accurate, but on the whole, this well balanced Carson City product faces up as a little nicer coin than that. The mint luster is original, the strike a...
368The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$475.00
1891-CC NGC AU-58.
This popular western mint issue displays a robust rose-gold hue blanketing its mostly lustrous surfaces. This exquisite color overshadows a sprinkling of contact ticks on a rather prominent strike.
369The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,250.00
1891-CC MS-61++.
A lustrous specimen from this renowned western mint during its waning years. The glowing yellow-gold surfaces have a light sprinkle of ticks expected for the grade. The motifs show excellent...
1105The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$500.00
1891-CC NGC AU-58.
Just the smallest amount of wear, and a few marks on the obverse, are holding this coin back from an Uncirculated designation. The coin is fully lustrous.
