1891-CC Liberty Head $5 Gold Coin Carson City RARE
This is an excellent 1891-CC (Carson City) Liberty Head $5 Gold Coin. The Carson City Mint Liberty Head Half Eagle is one of the most difficult coins to obtain and is highly desirable in any grade. The coin was designed by Christian Gobrecht and struck at the famed Carson City Mint. The authentic coin shows a very good condition with crisp details and a fine luster, believed to be a high grade coin (does have an "X" on both sides). The front of the coin shows the Liberty Head side profile surrounded by thirteen six pointed stars, to represent the Thirteen Original Colonies, and dated on the bottom 1891. The reverse shows the eagle with US shield on its chest holding an olive branch and three arrows in each talon, this is surrounded by "United States Of America-FIVE D" and the mint mark of "CC". The coin is truly an excellent rare original piece and would be a fine coin to add to any collection.
