1876-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (NGC).Pale ivory-gold in color, the fields of this piece are considerably reflective and contrast well with the more satiny design elements. Peach tinges accent the high points and contribute to overall exceptional eye appeal. The 1876-CC double eagle has a mintage of 138,411 pieces, more than 27,000 coins above the previous years total. Remarkably, the entire production was made using only one obverse die and two reverse dies differing primarily in the spacing and placement of the mintmark. As with many of the double eagles from the period, while most saw local use in the region, a modest quantity were shipped abroad.
