1874-CC $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. Lovely rich golden toning on this premium quality coin. Only 21,198 struck. Strong luster displays on warm honey gold surfaces. Choice and problem-free for the grade, with only the tiniest of marks present when viewed under low power magnification. Another prominent rarity from the Carson City Mint, one of a small number of survivors. The low survival of the piece supplies an obvious motive to bid!
