Lot Description

An eye-catching example toned in reddish-apricot on a base of deep honey-gold color. The surfaces remain appreciably frosted and semi-reflective, with just slight evidence of friction visible across the highest points. A few trivial bagmarks are apparent under scrutiny, though the complexion is nicely composed in-hand. Positioned late in this mintmarked gold series, the 1892-CC enjoyed an above average rate of survival and now numbers among the more frequently encountered Carson City Mint double eagles. Unlike early date CC-Mint twenties, which were largely used in domestic commerce, many examples from this 27,265-piece issue were exported.
