Description
1884-CC Double Eagle, MS61
Terrific Quality for the Grade
1884-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The sole dies employed
in the production of 81,139 double eagles at the Nevada branch mint
in 1884. Regarding the healthy number of survivors, Rusty Goe
(2020) writes:"In a way it makes sense that numerous survivors of this date-denomination would have remained stored in foreign holdings until their repatriations began in the later part of the 20th century and carrying forward into the 21st. The Carson City Mint issued a comparatively large output of double eagles in 1884 (measured by Carson City standards). Such were produced during a time when the United States was exporting massive quantities abroad."
This Uncirculated representative may very well derive from one of those foreign holdings. It maintains clean orange-gold surfaces with only minor abrasions and delightfully vibrant mint frost. Eye appeal is much better than the grade suggests.(Registry values: N2998)
