Lot 2468
1884-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Here is a lovely specimen of an important rarity of which only 16,402 pieces were struck. Tall letters in the mintmark and with the diagnostic line through the RTY of Liberty. Breen-6730, in which he states that the issue is "often weakly struck." Not this beauty, as the strike is excellent throughout as are the surfaces which are very clean and attractive. The color is equally appealing in warm honey gold. Pop 27, with 5 in 61 as the best graded by NGC. Of those 27, we doubt that very many, if any at all, will be this nice. Indeed an opportunity for the Carson City specialist, Half Eagle date collectors or just about anyone who enjoys rare and beautiful gold coins.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
