1875-CC. PCGS graded AU-58. A lustrous example with touches of sunset golden toning. A total of 111,151 struck for this "common date" Carson City mint. The Double Eagles, whose net gold content is .9675 of an ounce, actually weigh more than an ounce, because they have some copper alloy in them to add strength so they abrade less easily in circulation. At the time they were current (1850-1933) the gold "standard" was set to $20.67 per ounce. Pop 107 (PCGS # 8974) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000.
