1871-CC Five Dollar, AU50
Endorsed by CAC

1871-CC $5 AU50 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-A. The second C in the mintmark is centered over the upright of the E in FIVE. As in the ten and, to an extent, the twenty dollar CC series, the 1871-CC half eagle is considered by many to be the first obtainable issue in the set. First-year Nevada mint gold coins are generally out of reach, placing added collector demand on these more accessible second-year issues. The 1871-CC five enjoys a mintage of 20,770 coins. Rusty Goe (2020) suggests 140 to 180 examples exist.

CAC has endorsed this AU50 representative for its quality within the grade. Elegant orange-gold surfaces feature glowing luster around the devices and minimally abraded fields. Normal strike softness occurs at the centers. Census: 5 in 50, 26 finer. CAC: 2 in 50, 10 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WD, PCGS# 8323, Greysheet# 9051)
