Description

1879-CC Double Eagle, Near-Mint
Original Red-Gold Surfaces
Among the Few With CAC Approval

1879-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-A. All four branch mints engaged in the production of double eagles in 1879, with new coins coming from the New Orleans Mint for the first time since 1861. The two coastal issues, the 1879 and 1879-S, are the usually seen variants. The 1879-O is a major rarity in any grade. Examples of the 1879-CC, from a small mintage of only 10,708 coins, are scarce and typically encountered in XF40 to AU50 condition. Comparable near-Mint representatives with original surfaces are extremely rare. This boldly defined Carson City double eagle exhibits partial remaining luster over eye-appealing red-gold surfaces. The cheek and fields are surprisingly clean, showing shallow ticks and a few wispy marks. Seldom seen so nice. Census: 52 in 58, 10 finer. CAC: 4 in 58, 1 finer (11/17).(Registry values: N2998)
