Lot Description

1889-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Lustrous AU quality with sharp to full striking detail and handsome patina in dominant honey-gold. The Carson City Mint produced a mere 30,945 double eagles in 1889, a figure equal to $618,900 in face value. Circulated survivors are relatively obtainable by Carson City Mint double eagle standards, and they enjoy unflagging demand among both mintmarked type collectors and series specialists. PCGS# 9011.
