NEW LOWER PRICE. Do you collect gold Carson City coins? Do you find the idea of collecting them enticing? This coin is rich with history. Gold and silver coins circulated each and every day in the Old West, especially Carson City issues. That was because people in the Old West employed “hard money” in day-to-day business transactions.
They wanted to carry gold and silver coins in their pockets or purses, hear their clanging, and pay for goods and services with that “hard money.” Carson City Liberty head double eagles are always in great demand. They have a combination of fantastic elements in their favor: the romance and lore of the Old West and the Comstock Lode, the short-lived history of the Carson City Mint, and the popularity among collectors of double eagles.
PCGS has graded 229 as XF45 with 374 finer. Collectors Universe prices this issue at $9,000.00 in XF45. In CAC, there are 30 in XF45 with 71 finer. CAC gives this issue a price of $9,000.00 in XF45.
