Historic Final Year 1893-CC Double Eagle Scarce Mint State Preservation 1893-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. Brilliant golden-yellow surfaces are intensely lustrous with a satin to modestly semi-reflective finish. Both sides are fully struck from the rims to the centers with an exceptionally smooth appearance for a CC-Mint double eagle irrespective of date. The Carson City Mint's final double eagle issue has a mintage of just 18,402 pieces. The institution had struggled against politics and other factors since its opening in 1870, but time had finally run out in 1893. Perhaps not coincidentally, the nearby Comstock Lode also largely dried up by 1893, the heady days of gold mining at the site rapidly coming to an end. With an above average rate of survival in a Carson City Mint double eagle, the 1893-CC is more obtainable in today's market than the limited mintage might suggest. This is fortunate for collectors, allowing many to acquire an example of a historic issue from one of the nation's most romanticized and collected coinage facilities. For the advanced collector only a Mint State coin will do, and the one offered here is a noteworthy condition rarity that comes highly recommended. PCGS Population: 5; 26 finer (all MS-63).
