Designed by James B. Longacre, the Liberty Double Eagle was minted from 1849 to 1907 to accommodate the vast quantities of gold flowing from the California Gold Rush. These coins quickly became essential in large financial transactions and represent a significant era in American economic history.

The 1871-CC issue, struck at the historic Carson City Mint, is a key date in the series. With a low mintage and strong collector demand, Carson City gold coins are among the most coveted pieces in U.S. numismatics. This example offers both historical importance and substantial intrinsic gold value.
