Lot Description

1892-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 2-A. MS-61 (NGC). This impressive and conditionally rare Mint State example retains full striking detail and bountiful satin luster. Vivid rose-orange patina adds to the eye appeal. Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Carson City Mint remained high in 1892 (40,000 pieces) as the nation continued to churn out large numbers of such pieces to replace those lost to European export. Enough coins have survived that the 1892-CC is now widely regarded as the second most obtainable issue in this mintmarked gold series. It is, however, far scarcer than the 1891-CC in Mint State, the present offering a fleeting opportunity for advanced collectors. Provenance: From the Trebuchet Collection. NGC Census: 24; 9 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8722. NGC ID: 266W. Click here for certification details from NGC.
