Lot 1182
1874-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Nice light gold toning. The 1874-CC specimen offered here is very well struck and of great significance. Frosty devices are set against toned fields, giving the piece a rare aesthetic beauty. As noted with other CC-mint gold coinage, over the years, more weakly struck coins have come to market than have high-grade, sharp examples. Thus, it is correct to say that the present piece is one of the very best of all '74-CC gold half eagles in this condition. Pop 11; tied for finest graded; no mint state examples at NGC (PCGS # 8334) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000.
