- 1892-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Handsome honey-orange surfaces exhibit tinges of iridescent reddish-rose here and there around the peripheries. The Carson City Mint produced 27,265 double eagles in 1892, up more than 22,000 coins over the previous year's production figure at this facility. Face value amounted to $545,300. This issue was considered to be quite scarce for many years, and even today it is hardly plentiful. In the late 1950s Jim Kelly imported quite a few. His retail price in 1957 was $90, when a common date double eagle sold for about $40. Thanks to repatriations facilitated by Kelly and others, we believe that 1,250 to 1,750 or so circulated examples of the 1892-CC can be found today. Most grade VF or EF, which fact highlights the conditionally scarce nature of the present offering. PCGS# 9020. NGC ID: 26C6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
