1872-CC Five Dollar, AU58
Tied for Finest Known of This Rarity

1872-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-B. Ex: Bender Collection. The usual variety, with the mintmark centered in the field below the fletching. The 1872-CC is scarce in all grades, coming from a mintage of 16,980 pieces, all of which was dispersed into circulation. PCGS estimates that less than 100 examples of this date survive, although that number seems low considering the certified populations and auction appearance rate. In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, Rusty Goe suggests as many as 150 pieces survive. Nonetheless, most examples are well worn or impaired, and no examples are known in Mint State.

This piece displays significant remaining mint luster in the fields, with well-detailed design elements and pleasing honey-gold color. Few surface marks are seen. One of the finest-known examples and affirmed in that standing by recognition from CAC. Population: 4 in 58, 0 finer. CAC: 4 in 58, 0 finer (7/22).
