- Low Mintage, 1891-CC Double Eagle 1891-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (NGC). Bright medium gold surfaces retain bold to sharp striking detail to the central design elements. Ample evidence of a satin to semi-prooflike finish also remains to tempt the viewer as this minimally circulated coin rotates under a light. With a mere 5,000 pieces produced ($100,000 face value), the 1891-CC is the lowest mintage Carson City Mint double eagle of the 1889 to 1893 era. Circulation on the West Coast was immediate and extensive, although a couple of thousand of examples were probably exported after acquiring wear. Most of those coins were melted overseas, although a few hundred have been repatriated in recent decades, to the delight of collectors who would otherwise not be able to obtain an example of this key date Carson City Mint entry. PCGS# 9017. NGC ID: 26C3. Click here for certification details from NGC.
