1877'CC' $5.00. Choice Extremely Fine and not far from higher grade. Strike is full and even, wear is extremely moderate and much frosty lustre remains around this coin's problem-free reliefs and high rims. This is a relatively high grade for a Carson City date which saw only 8,680 struck. The 10-year Dannreuther-Garrett reference records only 20 appearances of this Branch Mint date at auction, and only six of these represented are in this desirable high grade.
