Paradime Coins proudly present you with this marvelous Carson City Double Eagle. It is one of the rarest Carson City Double Eagles made. Despite all of them being prooflike or semi-prooflike, most of the 1891-CC Double Eagles are in lower grades, such as EF or low AU. Nonetheless, apart from high grades, they are rarer than the 1878-CC or the 1879-CC, and the 1885-CC in any condition. Population wise, the 1891-CC is the third rarest specimen after the 1870-CC and the 1871-CC, which are 7 and 6 figure coins respectively. In all honesty this is the most attainable rarest CC Double Eagle.

This sublime piece is a beauty and a conditionally rare example of a key date Carson City Mint piece. It exhibits a deep golden-wheat color and is struck sharply. It displays great luster in a rich pearl-like texture, including a highly original surface. Circulation on the West Coast during its time was smooth and continuous, it is known that a couple thousand of them were exported, where most of them were melted and used otherwise. Despite such losses, a few hundred of them have been brought back in recent decades. Without such efforts made, not one collector would have been able to obtain such an example of this key date Carson City Mint $20, thus making this specimen that much scarcer. 

With just 5,000 pieces having been produced, the 1891-CC is the lowest minted Carson City Mint double eagle of the 1889 to 1893 timeline. Not to mention having a survival estimate of only 308 remaining currently is an unbelievably low number for a Double Eagle. There are only 5 CAC Finer than this grade. With no CAC sale in AU58 in recent years, a lower grade AU55 PCGS CAC sold for $40,800 12/23 HA and a marginally better MS61 PCGS CAC for $78,000 08/22 ST. Today this piece has a Price Guide of $54,000 and an opportunity should not be allowed to pass by to the Carson City Double Eagle.
