Lot 1188
1875-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Untoned with some reflective surfaces on the obv. Only 13,828 pieces minted. Moderate weakness only on the eagle's neck and upper part of the shield. The present piece combines a high About Uncirculated grade with commanding aesthetic features, yielding a truly landmark opportunity. How it compares from an aesthetic viewpoint with the other similar PCGS pieces offered in recent years is unknown, but it would be difficult to visualize one that gives a nicer overall outward show.
The mintmark placement of the 1875-CC is basically central in the field. The first C is directly below the point of the arrow feather, and at a small distance from it. The second C is considerably lower than the first C, and is above the upright of the E in the denomination. Pop 3; 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8337) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 14,000.
