Description
Handsome and Smooth 1892-CC Eagle
1892-CC Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.
This impressive and conditionally scarce Mint State example possesses full striking detail and bountiful frosty luster. Splashes of rose color adds to the eye appeal, as do uncommonly smooth surfaces. Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Carson City Mint remained high in 1892 (40,000 pieces) as the nation continued to churn out large numbers of such pieces to replace those lost to European export. Enough coins have survived that the 1892-CC is now widely regarded as the second most obtainable issue in this mintmarked gold series. It is, however, far scarcer than the 1891-CC in Mint State. The present offering from the Fairmont Collection is for one of the nicest BU examples that we have ever handled. It is a coin fit for inclusion in the finest gold cabinet or CC-Mint collection.
PCGS# 8722. NGC ID: 266W.
PCGS Population: 22; 5 finer (single MS-64 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 4; 0.
From the Fairmont Collection - Sussex Set.
