Lot 1203
1884-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A haze of tone rests within the devices. Satiny medium gold with strong luster and some light marks in the fields. Some light hairlines are present as well on both sides. Just 16,402 examples of the date were coined. David Akers commented: "Very rare and underrated in all grades," an understanding which is still true today. Moreover, Douglas Winter and Lawrence Cutler, two other noted specialists, called this the second rarest of the Carson City half eagles after 1878, behind only the 1881-CC. A very pleasing piece which will be appreciated by the specialist and connoisseur. Pop 30; only 3 better. (PCGS # 8365) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
