Lot Description

1889-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Pale flint gray and pink highlights adorn both sides of this otherwise deep honey example. Lustrous AU quality with exceptionally strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. The Carson City Mint produced a mere 30,945 double eagles in 1889, a figure equal to $618,900 in face value. Circulated examples are relatively obtainable by CC-mint double eagle standards, and they enjoy unflagging demand among both mintmarked type collectors and series specialists. PCGS# 9011.
