1879-CC Double Eagle: Scarcity from EF40 to MS62
Many of the higher grade 1879-CC double eagles that exist are coins that have been found in Europe since the late 1980s/early 1990s.
The 1879-CC double eagle is seen most frequently in EF40 to AU50 grades. It is moderately scarce in properly graded AU55, and it is rare in AU58. In uncirculated, this date continues to be quite rare with fewer than two dozen known. It is very rare in MS61 and extremely rare in MS62 with only a few known.
