Fans of America’s historic US Eagle gold coins have a unique opportunity to own specimens from a hoard of these historic coins known as the Fairmont Collection. Initially used in international commerce between the United States and other countries, these coins languished overseas for decades, centuries even, before returning to the US starting in the late 2010s. Today, 1890-CC $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins are available to you online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Fairmont Collection is a term that refers to a hoard of Pre-33 US Gold Coins used in international commerce and absent from the United States for more than a century, in most cases. These particular specimens were initially struck by the Carson City Mint in 1890 bearing the CC mint mark on the reverse.
All 1890-CC $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins listed here are exceptional Mint State 64 coins. Specimens with this grade have an average remaining mint luster with several small contact marks, one or two moderate-to-heavy marks, and one or two patches of hairlines visible.
On the obverse of 1890-CC Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins, you will find a left-profile bust of Liberty wearing a coronet crown. Her figure is framed by 13 stars and the 1890 date mark is at the bottom. The reverse of 1890 $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Coins comes with a depiction of the heraldic eagle. The design includes a front-facing eagle supporting the US national shield while clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
In 1890, the Carson City Mint issued $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagles for the first time since 1884. The Carson City Mint halted operations from 1886 to 1888, resuming its production in 1889 before closing for good in late 1893. The initial mintage was one of the highest in Carson City’s history of striking the $5 Liberty Gold Half Eagle.
