Description

Coveted 1870-CC Five Dollar AG3

1870-CC $5 AG3 PCGS. As is also the case for the double eagle and eagle, the first-year 1870-CC is the rarest Carson City half eagle. Mintages were slightly lower in 1873 and 1876, but more examples of those dates have survived, probably because they circulated additional years in the Western frontier. This golden-brown example has a bold date and mintmark. About half of the letters in UNITED, AMERICA, and FIVE D are worn into the rim.(Registry values: P3)
