Lot Description

Offered is an appealing Mint State example from the popular and widely collected Carson City Mint double eagle series. This 1875-CC exhibits a bold to sharp strike in virtually all areas. Vivid medium gold patina supports suitably vibrant satin luster at the assigned grade level. The penultimate Carson City Mint double eagle of the Type II design, the 1875-CC is the most frequently encountered Carson City Mint twenty in high grades after only the 1890-CC, but the fact that most such survivors are AU underscores the scarcity of Mint State examples. Indeed, offerings for Uncirculated 1875-CC double eagles are usually few and far between. In addition, the popularity of this series with advanced numismatists is sufficient to keep most examples off the market in tightly held collections. We anticipate keen interest and strong competition when bidding opens for this lot.
