<B>1879-CC $5 MS61 NGC.</B></I> In 1879 the Carson City Mint produced 17,281 coins, the third largest mintage of the decade, but still an important rarity, especially in Mint State grades. Rusty Goe, author of <I>The Mint on Carson Street, </B></I>reports three MS61 coins, one MS60, and six AU58, as the finest examples known to him.<BR> The finest NGC or PCGS certified examples of the rare 1879-CC half eagle issue grades just MS61, like this piece. Both sides are intricately detailed with exquisite satiny yellow luster. The few surface marks scattered across each side are of little consequence.
