1874-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS).

1874-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS).，An overall boldly struck, honey-orange example that also retains ample mint luster. The first moderately significant mintage of double eagles manufactured at the still relatively new mint at Carson City took place in 1874. Some 115,085 pieces were produced to help fulfill the need for larger denomination coins as the economy recovered in the wake of the Panic of 1873. Unlike the coins produced at the other mints, the double eagles from Carson City saw immediate and heavy circulation in the local area, seldom finding their way into international channels, and then mostly incidentally. While this is the most available of all double eagle issues from Carson City, the vast majority of surviving examples are in VF or in EF levels of preservation. The relatively limited number of Choice EF specimens that are known remain especially popular for collectors seeking a decent example from the Nevada facility. Certain to please any enthusiast of Carson City gold.，，
