1873-CC Five Dollar, AU50
Orange and Golden-Olive Color

1873-CC $5 AU50 PCGS. Variety 2-B. Not many half eagles were struck at the Carson City Mint in 1873 and only a fraction, maybe 1% of them, survive, making the 1873-CC an extremely challenging issue at any level. Rusty Goe posits that 75 to 95 pieces exist from an original mintage of 7,416 coins. Most of them are heavily circulated, and the pool of higher-grade representatives "is very shallow." The present coin exhibits attractive orange and golden-olive color that generates elegant, natural eye appeal. It displays modest evidence of circulation, including peppered marks and minor rub, but the motifs remain sharp. Population: 2 in 50, 9 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WL, PCGS# 8331, Greysheet# 9055)
