1874-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Untoned. Some original luster luster plays on warm honey gold surfaces. Choice and problem-free for the grade, with only the tiniest of marks present when viewed under low magnification. Another notable rarity from the Carson City Mint.
The norm for the 1874-CC is a well-circulated coin, VF or EF. Anything higher is especially rare. Regarding the AU grade, Douglas Winter and Lawrence Cutler, suggest that this is in the middle range of Rarity-7, with, perhaps, six to eight pieces known in all of the numismatic world. The present coin aptly suited to a high-quality U.S. gold date set and was among the choicer examples our consignor able to locate. It will be a treasure in the cabinet of its next owner. 21,198 coins minted. Pop 9; 24 finer.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
