1875-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS).,The present example is an exceptional representative of this desirable issue, offering cartwheels of satiny luster throughout. The complexion is remarkably smooth for the assigned grade, absent of any distracting notions and remaining notably smooth to inspection. A bold strike has rendered the devices sharp in most areas, with a particular acuity apparent across the reverse. Technically superior and aesthetically stunning, the present piece is a truly splendid example of the issue. <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.,PCGS# 8974. NGC ID: 26AT.,,
