Description
1883-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS).
A handsome honey-apricot example with plenty of sharp striking detail remaining. Suitably lustrous for the grade, as well, direct lighting angles call forth a lively frosty texture from the fields. The Carson City Mint produced just 12,000 eagles in 1883, most of which saw immediate and extensive use in local commerce. Many of these coins found their way into foreign shipments of U.S. gold coins in later years, after they had acquired wear, the survivors accounting for a large percentage of the 200 to 350 coins believed extant. With so many high grade circulated Carson City Mint gold coins in today's market cleaned or otherwise impaired, this refreshingly original EF is sure to please discerning numismatists.
PCGS# 8700. NGC ID: 2667.
From the Fairmont Collection - Mont Blanc Set.
Estimate: $3500
