Description

1890-CC Five Dollar, MS64+
Few Known Finer

1890-CC $5 MS64+ NGC. Variety 1-A. A single die pair is recorded for the 1890-CC half eagle, which struck all 53,800 coins struck at the Nevada mint that year. This Carson City issue is occasionally available in Uncirculated grades, although the majority of such coins grade no finer than MS62 and are scarce in MS63. At the near-Gem level, this issue is borderline rare, and only a handful of finer pieces are known.

The present coin is one of just two coins in this grade at NGC with a Plus designation, ranking it just outside the Condition Census. Frosty peach-gold luster complements boldly struck design elements, while minor marks prevent Gem classification. Census: 19 in 64 (2 in 64+), 5 finer (12/24).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25Y3, PCGS# 8376, Greysheet# 9085)
