Description
The 1882 (CC) Liberty Head Double Eagle is a Gold Double Eagle produced at the Carson City Mint as part of the Liberty Head Double Eagles 1849-1907 series. With a mintage of 39,140, this is an extremely rare issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 3% of production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM surrounded by a glory of rays. The 1882-CC is a collected Carson City issue. Three-mint production continued. Struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, which operated from 1870 to 1893 and produced coins from Comstock Lode silver and gold — among the most collectible mintmarks in U.S. numismatics. Estimated market value ranges from $6.3K to $146K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% gold, 10% copper, weighing 33.4 grams, 34 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #8997.
