1872-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.This handsome example is awash in rich khaki-gold patina. Ample luster remains, the devices also retaining plenty of bold striking detail in the absence of all but light wear. This is an uncommonly original, relatively smooth-looking coin in a lightly circulated Carson City Mint double eagle, the kind of coin that is sure to elicit premium bids from astute collectors. An attractive and desirable alternative to the 1872-CC in NGC AU-55 offered above for the collector working with a somewhat more limited budget.From the Fairmont Collection.
