Description

1871-CC Five Dollar, AU50
Challenging Carson City Issue

1871-CC $5 AU50 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1871-CC Liberty half eagle is a rarity in AU condition, as the issue is typically seen in VF and XF grades, as well as occasionally lower. A number of coins are known with surface impairments. David Akers, in his Analysis of Auction Records (1979), stated that he had only ever seen two examples that he considered to be Uncirculated. Today, NGC and PCGS combined report only four Uncirculated pieces.

This collectible AU example displays strong detail with light wear. Uniform yellow-gold surfaces show minimal marks and have remnants of luster in the protected areas. Census: 5 in 50, 27 finer (6/22).(Registry values: P3)

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