- 1883-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53+ (PCGS). CAC.
A lovely honey-gold example with sharply defined features and considerable remnants of original luster. Mint records indicate a production figure of 59,962 double eagles at the Carson City Mint in 1883, equal to a face value of $1,199,240. Most entered into the channels of commerce and circulated extensively, although more than a few were exported. In 2004, Q. David Bowers pegged the circulated population at 1,100 to 1,400+ pieces, which is probably too low now, more than a decade later. The actual figure may be close to twice the high-end estimate, and there is no doubt that the 1883-CC is one of the more readily obtainable Carson City Mint double eagles in circulated grades. On the other hand, few are as technically sound and aesthetically pleasing as the present example. A find for the discerning collector, and worthy of the strongest bids.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
PCGS# 8999. NGC ID: 26BH.
