Lot 1872
1879-CC. PCGS graded AU-50. Nicely stuck with traces of luster and all over laid with natural rich golden toning, the surface quality far surpassing a more typical Carson City Mint double eagle of this year or any other. Only 10,708 struck. Noting the relative mintage figures, the 1879-CC is rarer than the 1878-CC (13,180 pieces produced). In Mint State, few are accounted for and those that do come to market often see prices rise to the moon. Which positions this handsome AU50 offering right in line with many advanced collector’s budgets. Altogether an eye-catching example of this rare and highly sought-after CC-mint twenty, with the appeal that should draw a lot of notice. Pop 36; 72 finer. (PCGS # 8989) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
