1879-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and untoned with partially reflective fields. A rare coin in all grades and decidedly so in grades about EF. Only 17,281 minted. Exceptional bright frosted luster plays across golden surfaces on this high end specimen. 1879-CC tends to be much more heavily worn on than this. Census figures reveal that concerning the '79-CC $5 gold perhaps only a few dozen exist at the AU level, possibly fewer if we take into account multiple submittals to a grading service. Certainly this number is exceedingly small in terms of the popularity of Carson City coinage. Pop 30; 1 in 60; 2 in 61.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
