1891-CC $5 Liberty PCGS MS62 PQ

An exceptionally fresh Carson City $5, with strong frosty luster and hints of lovely blue and magenta toning in the protected areas. This coin came to us from a collection that was put back in the 1970s, and was graded very conservatively at PCGS, with a handful of light bagmarks and a few barely perceptible hairlines accounting for the grade. If originality and quality are your goal, you could hardly do better than this half eagle.
