Description

1879-CC Five Dollar, AU58
Scarce CC Issue

1879-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 2-A, with a die scratch through the right side of E in LIBERTY. Additional small die defects can be seen around IB of LIBERTY. Even though this date had the third highest mintage of any Carson City half eagle struck during the first decade of coinage in Nevada, it is a scarce issue and the present near-Mint example is highly collectible. This example is highly lustrous with frosty yellow-gold surfaces and splashes of lemon-yellow color, and additional faint orange toning. Both sides are surprisingly well struck. In his reference The Mint on Carson Street, Rusty Goe estimated that only four to six Mint State examples of this date are known. Population: 15 in 58 (1 in 58+), 6 finer (10/20).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 7/2006), lot 1251.
