Description
- Struck at the Carson City Mint in 1890
- Carson City gold from the Wild West was only produced in small numbers and just for a few years of the Half Eagle series
- Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of only 53,800 coins
- Absolute Rarity is when so few coins exist that finding one in any condition is difficult to do
- Condition Rarity: Only 123 graded in Mint State 63 condition with just 65 finer known
- Condition Rarity is when so few coins survive in a particular grade that they are difficult to find
- Finer than the MS61 example housed in the illustrious Smithsonian Institution
