1882-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).Pretty salmon pink highlights flash into view as this otherwise khaki-gold example rotates under a light. Appreciably lustrous, as befits the assigned grade, with bold to sharp striking detail throughout. Despite its status as one of the more frequently encountered Carson City Mint double eagles from the 1880s, the 1882-CC is still scarce in an absolute sense, a fact that it due at least in part to a limited mintage of 39,140 pieces. Survivors are also rarer than those of the 1883-CC, 1884-CC and 1889-CC issues, especially in grades above EF, as here.
