The 1893-CC Liberty Head half eagle represents the final chapter of five-dollar gold coinage at the historic Carson City Mint. Struck in the closing year of operations for the Nevada facility, the issue carries a modest mintage of 60,000 pieces and stands as the last half eagle to bear the famous CC mintmark. Today it serves as a tangible reminder of the western mint that supplied gold coinage during the late frontier era.
Examples of the 1893-CC are encountered with some regularity compared with other CC half eagles. According to noted numismatist David Akers, it ranks among the more available issues in the Carson City five-dollar series. Akers wrote that “The 1892 is common in all grades including choice uncirculated,” a comment often cited when discussing the relative availability of the final Carson City half eagles of the early 1890s.
This PCGS XF-45 example reflects moderate circulation while retaining clear design definition. PCGS reports 66 coins graded at this level with 720 finer, placing the piece solidly within the collectible circulated range. For many collectors, the appeal of the 1893-CC lies not only in its scarcity profile but also in its status as the concluding half eagle from one of America’s most storied frontier mints.
