Description

1880-CC Five Dollar, AU58
Low Survival Rate at This Grade or Finer

1880-CC $5 AU58 NGC. Winter 1-B. The relatively large 51,017-piece mintage required three known die marriages. A circular die mark below the tip of the eagle's left (facing) wing confirms the Winter 1-B variety. While the 1880-CC is moderately available in circulated grades, it becomes scarce at the near-Mint level such as this sharp AU58 example. Rich orange-gold color retains nearly full mint luster and a crisp strike provides bold definition throughout the obverse and the reverse. Only light abrasions suggest a brief stay in circulation. NGC Census (all varieties): 56 in 58 (2 in 58+, 1 in 58 ), 11 finer (8/25).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XB, PCGS# 8352, Greysheet# 9070)
