Lot Description

1893-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Virtually full in striking detail, this minimally circulated survivor also retains virtually full satin to semi-reflective luster to further tempt the quality conscious collector. 1893 ended up being the Carson City'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, this is a conditionally challenging issue seldom found in grade levels above EF. A rewarding and attractive example of the final Carson City double eagle issue. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9023. NGC ID: 26C9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
