Lot 2340
1877-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Mostly untoned. A naturally toned and partly lustrous specimen with excellent color and surface originality on both sides. Choice for the grade, in fact, very choice, with an overall visual appeal that approaches a somewhat higher level. From a mintage for the date of 8,680 pieces it is rare to find one so fine; the 1877-CC, when found, is usually in Very Fine or lower grades, as few if any were sent to foreign lands during the era of mintage. When this comes to market the specialized collector of Carson City coins will feel the urge to pull out all stops, and bid whatever the competition dictates, with the knowledge that few other opportunities may occur in his or her collecting years. Pop 2; 9 finer; 6 in 55; 1 in 58; 1 in 60; 1 in 62. (PCGS # 8343) .
The mintmark placement is central in the field between the denomination and the details above. The first C is above the left upright of the V, while the second is centered above the V and E. The second C is marginally higher than the first.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
