Description

1871-CC Five Dollar, XF45+
Scarce Second-Year Nevada Issue

1871-CC $5 XF45+ NGC. Variety 1-A. Rusty Goe calls the 1871-CC half eagle "one of the bright stars" in the series. This second-year Carson City issue, struck to the extent of 20,770 coins, has a survival rate of less than 1%. Goe estimates 140 to 180 pieces extant in all grades. This example, in seldom-seen XF45+ condition, showcases profound orange-gold color and maintains faint traces of original luster within the recesses of the design. Good detail appears on the stars, curls, and wing and leg feathers, and olive leaves despite moderate friction. Census: 18 in 45, 29 finer (6/21).(Registry values: P3)
