In 1884, the Carson City mint reached a creditable level of gold coinage for the first time, producing $1.8 million in face value, the fourth highest total between 1870 and 1889. The estimated survival rate for 1884-CC double eagles is consistent with the two preceding years, and because of the higher original mintage (81,139 pieces), it is the most sought after affordable "CC" double eagle from the 1880s.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
