Description

Rarely Seen Mint State 1881-CC Five Dollar
High Condition Census Example

1881-CC $5 MS61 NGC. Only 13,886 pieces were struck of the 1881-CC five, and it is estimated that today perhaps 70-80 examples survive in all grades. Of those, the vast majority are in the VF-XF range. Uncirculated coins are very rare and seldom encountered, except when a major collection is broken up. The Condition Census established in Doug Winter's 2001 reference on the series ranges from multiple AU55 pieces to a single MS63. This coin does not appear in his Census, and it should tie another MS61 as second finest known. The surfaces are bright gold, with a slight reddish tinge. The surfaces are lightly marked over each side, and the only noticeable pedigree identifier is an irregular dab of russet-colored verdigris in the recesses of the vertical shield lines.(Registry values: P3)
