1889-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).A fully original honey-gold example with subtle pale pink undertones flashing into view as the surfaces dip into a light. Boldly defined with nearly complete mint luster, this is a superior Choice AU in a Carson City Mint twenty. This fabled frontier era coinage facility produced a mere 30,945 double eagles in 1889, a figure equal to $618,900 in face value. Circulated examples are relatively obtainable by CC-mint double eagle standards, and they enjoy unflagging demand among both mintmarked type collectors and series specialists.From the Fairmont Collection.
