Lot 1180
1873-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned except on the highlights which are tawny orange-gold, and abounding with nice details. An amazing amount of detail remains on this handsome About Uncirculated. It is also amazing coin from an extensive collection of rare date branch mints, a piece that in any other venue would be extraordinary. Actually, the designation is still fitting, since years from now many numismatists will remark upon the opportunities here presented. For the Carson City specialist this frosty AU55 represents one of the best known examples of this famous low mintage rarity. Only 7,416 made. Pop 2; 1 in 62 as best graded by NGC. (PCGS # 8331) .
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
