Description du lot

Positioned late in this mintmarked gold series, the 1892-CC double eagle enjoyed an above average rate of survival in an absolute sense, but was long considered unobtainable in Mint State. Unlike early date CC-Mint twenties, which were largely used in domestic commerce, many examples from this 27,265-piece issue were exported, and the ones that were not shipped overseas circulated heavily. Rusty Goe (2020) estimates that perhaps 1,050 to 1,300 examples survive of this issue, and, from that number, only 195 to 255 are Mint State - most of which were repatriated from European bank hoards in the second half of the last century. Clearly any Uncirculated 1892-CC double eagle represents a true numismatic prize, and this is an uncommonly lustrous and attractive BU example in certified MS-60. It will certainly attract plenty of bids when it crosses the auction block.
