- Sparkling Mint State 1892-CC Double Eagle 1892-CC Liberty Double Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). An exceptional, high quality example, fully lustrous and sharp with excellent eye appeal. The surfaces are cleaner than often encountered for a Carson City double eagle, with minimal scuffs and nicks, especially clean in the open fields. Pleasing light yellow-gold with a hint of green. PCGS has graded only a handful finer than this piece, all MS-63. With a mintage of only 27,265 pieces, this issue has always been considered a prime rarity in high grade.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers As can be seen by the NGC census data, MS-62 is what I like to call an optimal collecting grade for an Uncirculated double eagle of this date and mint. Offered is a high grade coin not far removed from MS-63, but at a price that no doubt will be very reasonable. PCGS# 9020. NGC Census: 39; 5 finer (MS-63 finest).
