- Desirable Mint State 1892-CC Double Eagle 1892-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). CAC. Pale rose-gold surfaces are lightly toned over boldly to sharply struck features. Otherwise frosty in texture, direct lighting calls forth strong semi-prooflike reflectivity from the fields. Positioned late in this mintmarked gold series, the 1892-CC double eagle enjoyed an above average rate of survival in an absolute sense, but was long considered unobtainable in Mint State. Unlike early date CC-Mint twenties, which were largely used in domestic commerce, many examples from this 27,265-piece issue were exported, and the ones that were not shipped overseas circulated heavily. Q. David Bowers estimates that perhaps 800 to 1,200 or so examples survive of this date, and, from that number, 150 to 225 are Mint State -- most of which were repatriated from European bank hoards in the second half of the last century. With any 1892-CC double eagle representing a true numismatic prize, this Mint State example should attract strong bids when it crosses the auction block. PCGS# 9020. NGC ID: 26C6.
