1879-CC $5 MS (PCGS#8349)

The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION While not rare as a date, in AU58, this date becomes VERY SCARCE indeed, and in Mint State the 79-CC $5 is a major rarity with none known above MS62! From an original mintage of 17,281, Rusty Goe's extensive research suggests fewer than 275 are known in all grades, he notes that the AU58 population is likely inflated from resubmissions and crossovers. This is a very pleasing looking AU58. Boasting highly lustrous surfaces that accent brilliant yellow gold coloration that shows lemon-yellow and richer orange tinges that come out as you rotate the surfaces in a light. Well struck overall, the devices are crisp. The "wear" is limited to the most inconspicuous friction on the high points and in the fields. Even using a strong glass you will not be able to locate even a minor mark or line worthy of mention. The eye appeal is neat! PCGS 12, NGC 23. This is the most recent example to sell in auction, realizing $12,000 in the November 2020 sale of the Sierra Nevada Collection. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. Just seven are graded higher at PCGS, and the only one finer to sell in auction was the MS62 CAC Battle Born coin at $37,375 nearly a decade ago! This near-Mint grade coin is considered to be at the low end of the condition census and is a great opportunity for the collector! Cert. Number 50024680 PCGS # 8349
