1890-CC $5 Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle – CACG XF45 – POP 1 – Carson City Gold

Offered here is a scarce 1890-CC Liberty Head $5 Gold Half Eagle, graded XF45 by CAC Grading. Struck at the historic Carson City Mint, this coin represents a highly collectible piece of Old West gold with strong demand across all levels of collectors.

Population 1 at CACG, with no other examples currently graded at this level by CACG. This makes it a standout opportunity for collectors seeking low-population and registry-worthy coins.

The 1890-CC issue has a modest mintage of just 91,209 pieces, making it a tougher Carson City Half Eagle. Coins from this mint are always in demand due to their limited production and historical significance tied to the American frontier.

Graded XF45, this example shows strong detail throughout with moderate, even wear on the high points. Liberty’s hair details and the eagle’s feathers remain well-defined, giving the coin excellent overall eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces display original character and natural coloration consistent with a lightly circulated gold coin of this era.

Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features Liberty wearing a coronet surrounded by thirteen stars, while the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch. The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, with an actual gold weight of approximately 0.2419 troy ounces.

Carson City gold coins remain among the most desirable in all of U.S. numismatics, prized for their rarity, history, and enduring collector appeal. The 1890-CC $5 is an excellent addition to any Carson City set or Liberty Head gold collection.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a POP 1 CACG Carson City gold piece with strong eye appeal and historical significance.
