- Low Mintage 1891-CC Double Eagle 1891-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Undeniably original khaki-gold surfaces with pale flint gray highlights evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. Direct viewing angles call forth ample luster remnants that are most intense in the protected areas around the devices. Boldly defined over the focal features with exceptionally strong eye appeal in a lightly circulated Carson City Mint twenty. With a mere 5,000 pieces produced ($100,000 face value), the 1891-CC is the lowest mintage Carson City Mint double eagle of the 1889 to 1893 era. Circulation on the West Coast was immediate and extensive, although a couple of thousand of examples were probably exported after acquiring wear. Most of those coins were melted overseas, although a few hundred have been repatriated in recent decades, to the delight of collectors who would otherwise not be able to obtain an example of this key date Carson City Mint entry. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 9017. NGC ID: 26C3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
