Description
1871-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS).
A lustrous and vivid example of this challenging key date entry in the Carson City Mint double eagle series. Central striking detail is sharp and, in the absence of all but light wear, the focal features are fully appreciable. Pretty honey-apricot color overall, direct lighting calls forth plenty of semi-reflectivity from the original mint finish. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, this early date CC-Mint issue is among the rarest in the double eagle series. This is certainly an above average survivor worthy of inclusion in an advanced cabinet.
PCGS# 8961. NGC ID: 26AB.
PCGS Population: 11; 25 finer, just two of which are Mint State (MS-61 finest).
From the Jones Collection.
