Liberty Head Double Eagle

1877-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS).

Medium orange-gold surfaces feature scattered pinkish color in the protected areas. Well struck with ample luster remaining. The mintage for this scarce issue is just 42,565 pieces, a figure reduced by nearly 96,000 coins from the previous year's relatively high production mark at the Carson City Mint. Many were shipped overseas after they had circulated in regional commerce. Some 800 to 1,200 circulated examples of the 1877-CC are known, with many of those just VF or EF. Nice AU examples such as this can be challenging to acquire and deserve serious bidder attention whenever they appear at auction.

PCGS# 8983. NGC ID: 26AZ.

Estimate: $ 5000
