Lot 1187
1875-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Nice shades of gold and orange toning. Semi reflective. Winter 1-B. A very attractive example of this very key CC-mint date in high grades. The strike is fairly standard for this date, with minor soft elements seen on the hair below LIBERTY (but her hair bun is generally well defined). On the reverse there is weakness on the eagle neck and legs as well as the arrow feathers, with much of that device flat appearing. The eagle's wings and claws show sharpness from the dies, however. Excellent color with copper-gold patina throughout the fields and within the devices, with some luster in the protected areas. Above everything else, this is an important offering for the specialist, and about as nice as this date is usually seen. Pop 8; 4 in 58; 1 in 63. (PCGS # 8337) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 14,000.
