1893-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).A beautiful rose-orange example of this perennially popular final year Carson City Mint double eagle issue. Sharply struck, as well, with full mint luster in a delightful satin to softly frosted texture. The Carson City Mint produced 18,402 double eagles in 1893, the terminal date for coinage production at Nevadas capital city coinage facility. That figure was down nearly 9,000 pieces from the previous years production tally. Face value totaled just $368,040. We estimate 350 to 600 examples of the date can be classified Mint State today, with imports from overseas adding much to the known population. Scarce relative to demand, these are extremely popular at all levels of Uncirculated and eagerly sought by both double eagle and Carson City Mint enthusiasts.
