1875-CC Liberty Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).；This is a remarkably well preserved 1875-CC double eagle that belongs in the finest collection of Carson City Mint gold. Bathed in bright orange-gold luster, the satiny surfaces are overall smooth with eye appeal to spare. Sharply struck, as well, and sure to please.<p>In 1875, double eagle production was stepped up significantly with a sufficiently large mintage of 111,151 pieces, helped by the $1.5 million bullion deposit made by the Consolidated Virginia Mining Company in June of that year. These coins entered circulation in the region and served many years of service. Later on, many examples were shipped abroad, but by this time were quite worn. As one of the most available of the Carson City double eagle issues, the 1875-CC is a particularly popular issue for collectors desiring an example from this legendary Nevada mint. Fortunately for todays numismatists a few uncirculated specimens are known, though mostly heavily abraded. Challenging at the Choice Mint State level, a strong bidding strategy is advised to secure this example for an advanced cabinet of Western gold.
