1876-CC. NGC graded MS-61. Toned with plenty of underlying luster evident. This issue's mintage total of 138,441 tops any double eagle struck in the Carson City Mint. While fairly common in circulated grades up to About Uncirculated, in Mint State the tables turn. Few are found, only a limited number have reached this grading service over the past 25 years. This is a frosty 1876-CC double eagle. The surfaces are vivid yellow-gold in color with modest, yet hardly annoying marks in the fields. Sharply struck and free of all minting imperfections, this coin should be of obvious importance to astute Carson City specialists. Some minor coin to coin scuffing of the cheek luster during bank transfers is mentioned for pedigree purposes. Pop 140; 64 finer (PCGS # 8977) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
