Description
The 1884 (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 81,139, this is a scarce issue — the scarcer of two mint variants, with 8% of total 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. Carson City and San Francisco produced most double eagles. The 1884 Philadelphia issue is scarce. 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 $57K 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 #9001.
