Lot 1189
1875-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. A hint of light gold toning. A choice and attractive example of this scarce date in high grades. The strike is fairly detailed for this date, with minor weakness seen on the hair above the ear and the lovelock below the ear, also the hair bun has flat-topped curls though a clear beaded cord. On the reverse there is weakness on just a few of the horizontal shield lines on the bottom half of that device. The eagle's wings and claws show clear definition from the dies. Lustrous. An important offering for the specialist, and about as nice as this low mintage date is found. Pop 10; 8 in 55; 4 in 58, 1 in 63 (PCGS # 8337) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
