1882-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).,A fully original, predominantly honey-orange example with glints of rose intermingled over both sides. Sharply defined for the grade with plenty of eye appeal. Beginning in 1879, the Treasury Department began to require that gold coin manufacturing be focused on the smaller denominations and less so on double eagle. At Carson City, double eagle coining was put on a brief hiatus until 1882 when the production of the denomination resumed. A modest 39,140 coins were struck from two distinct die pairs and while still popular in the region, overall demand for the coin was not as high as it was in previous years. A modest number of 1882-CC double eagles found their way abroad only to return several decades later. Most of the extant specimens are in the higher circulated levels of preservation and thanks to its lower mintage it remains as enticing as ever for collectors seeking a nice example of the denomination from Carson City.,,
