1893-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.Dominant honey-gold patina with ample reddish-rose iridescence, this is an undeniably original and highly attractive coin in a lightly circulated CC-mint twenty. Lustrous and sharply defined for the grade, and worthy of a strong premium. Just 18,042 pieces were struck, and a good number of these were sent overseas in the export trade. Those double eagles that stayed in the West tended to circulate. The Carson City Mint was shut down in 1893 after months of wrangling so coinage was halted by the end of the year, creating strong demand for this issue as the last year from this mint.From the Fairmont Collection.
