1883-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. NGC holder 1996861-001. Untoned. The color alternates between shades of lighter and deeper frost depending on whether it is in the more exposed areas of the fields or protected by the devices. Lustrous and well struck with pleasing surfaces, to say the least, a major rarity in this condition. The pressure transmitted from the die to the blank reveals itself in sharp stars, coronet, and hair (including the beaded hair cord in the bun). There is a small dig in the field to the right of star 13. The reverse shows similar bold detail from a firm blow by the dies. There is not one iota of difference in the sharp detail between this rare CC-mint five and a similarly graded P-mint of the same year. Those who believe Carson City was America's rustic mint will see no excuse not to raise their bid cards and give it a strong showing. Only 12,598 struck. Pop 3; 1 in 64. (PCGS # 8362) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
