1884-CC Five Dollar Liberty, MS61
Sole Mint State Example With CAC

1884-CC $5 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1884-CC Liberty half eagle is collectible in circulated grades, but Mint State example are notably rare. PCGS has seen only two pieces in the current grade and one finer, while NGC reports seven MS61 pieces, with none finer. Perhaps most significant for the present coin is that it is the only Uncirculated 1884-CC half eagle with CAC approval. In the eyes of many collectors, that will make this piece the single most desirable example of the date. At the very least, it is in the high Condition Census.

Satiny tangerine-gold luster complements a bold strike and attractive cartwheel effect. Minor handing marks in the fields are all that deny a finer grade. A prime condition rarity among Carson City half eagles. Population: 2 in 61, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 61, 0 finer (7/22).
