详细说明

This phenomenal offering is for a fresh 1884-CC eagle, nearly Condition Census for the issue based on the AU-55 grade assigned by PCGS. It is a lovely coin - original medium honey surfaces with overlying orange-apricot toning, fully struck design elements, and virtually complete mint luster in a highly frosted texture. Exceptionally smooth for both the issue and the assigned grade, and sure to sell for a strong premium.<p>The final CC-Mint ten struck prior to 1890, the 1884-CC has a mintage of 9,925 pieces and likely suffered attrition predominantly through domestic circulation in the American West with limited numbers of coins (mostly worn) finding their way to Europe in later years. Repatriations and other newcomers to today's market tend to be in well circulated grades. The example offered here is a notable exception as it is very close to Mint State. It has come down to us today still fresh and original, and its offering in this sale represents a fleeting opportunity for the collector of condition rarity Carson City Mint gold coinage.
