Description

1881-CC Near-Mint Five
Absolute and Condition Rarity

1881-CC $5 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Only one variety is known of the 1881-CC five, unsurprising since only 13,886 pieces were produced. This is the second-rarest CC five from the 1880s. At the AU58 level, it is almost impossible to improve upon. Both major services have only certified eight coins in mint condition, representing perhaps four to six individual pieces. This mightily impressive coin exhibits bright prooflike fields on each side. The strike is strong throughout, and just a touch of friction is evident. Numerous small abrasions are scattered about, the only noteworthy one beneath the eagle's left (facing) wing.(Registry values: P3)
