1871-CC Liberty Double Eagle. EF Details--Smoothed (PCGS).；A generally bold example with bright, even, khaki-gold patina. Wispy hairlines and a glossy texture explain the PCGS qualifier. The second double eagle from the fabled Carson City Mint, the 1871-CC is also a key date issue with just 17,387 coins struck. The rarest CC-mint twenty after the fabled 1870-CC, the 1871-CC is elusive in all grades with fewer than 250 coins believed extant. The present example is sure to be of interest to the budget-minded Carson City Mint and/or double eagle specialist.；
