- Lot Description
- Lot 2455 1874-CC $5 Liberty.NGC graded AU-58.Only 21,198 minted. Pop 10; none finer. Very rare in high grades. A beautiful specimen with excellent eye appeal, this 1874-CC is at once a rarity and a Condition Census coin, one of the top several finest known. The striking is typical for the variety, with some lightness on the high points of the hair (but not the star centers), and, on the reverse, the a portion of the eagle's legs and the edge of the shield. Perhaps these aspects are moot, since most 1874-CC eagles are akin to all others on this striking theme. The surfaces are a smooth with reddish-orange gold patina around devices and with abundant luster in the protected areas, this frost blending well with the field areas. Estimated Value $13,000 - 16,000.
