Description

1879-CC Five Dollar, AU53
Elusive Old West Gold

1879-CC $5 AU53 NGC. Winter 2-A. A bold die line through the E in LIBERTY distinguishes Winter 2-A from its 1-A alternative. The 1879-CC is a rare Carson City emission with a mintage of just 17,281 pieces. This representative displays wear on Liberty's hairbun, but luster illuminates design elements. Light orange toning helps confirm the originality. There are no relevant marks.(Registry values: P3)
From The Robert C. Pickett Collection.
