Description du lot

1893-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. A wonderfully original example with glints of iridescent rose to otherwise honey-olive surfaces. This is a lustrous and boldly defined AU worthy of a premium bid. 1893 ended up being the Carson City Mint's swan song. Cleveland won a second non-consecutive term and his administration set about closing the facility down. Even though only 18,402 1893-CC double eagles ended up being struck before the Carson City Mint closed its doors for the final time, this is a relatively available issue. Unlike some similar issues from the period, however, the 1893-CC is conditionally challenging and seldom found in grades above EF. A rewarding and attractive example of the final CC-mint double eagle issue. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9023. NGC ID: 26C9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
