Lot 1616
1874-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. PCGS holder 22111141. Warm golden-sunset surfaces. The 1874-CC has the highest mintage (still an anemic 21,198 pieces) and is one of the more readily available Carson City half eagles of the decade. Yet just the same, the small population of survivors are almost all heavily marked; a legitimate AU55 like this can be rightly categorized as extremely scarce. This example displays rich reddish-orange patina and show much original mint luster. The peripheral striking details are sharp, but there is a touch of softness at the center of the reverse (only a touch); the mintmark is clear and bold. No spots or discoloration. A very choice example. A lovely high grade coin. Pop 9; 7 finer; 5 in 58; 2 in 62. (PCGS # 8334) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
