1874-CC $5 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. An untoned example. A fair amount of residual luster plays over natural gold surfaces. Choice and problem-free for the grade, with only the tiniest of marks evident when viewed under a glass. 1874-CC is a notable rarity from the Carson City Mint, the norm for which is a well-circulated coin, generally Very Fine or Extremely Fine. Something higher is considered rare. Regarding the AU grade, Douglas Winter and Lawrence Cutler, suggest that this is in the middle range of Rarity-7. The present coin may be the finest you will be able to locate, given the often long lapse of time between offerings, and it will be a treasure in the collection of its next owner. Pop 13; 12 in 58. (PCGS # 8334) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
