Description

Pleasing 1871-CC Twenty, AU55

1871-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Given the rarity of the 1870-CC double eagle, the 1871-CC is the first reasonably available double eagle from the Carson City Mint. Doug Winter writes that this is the second rarest CC twenty and comments that "for most collectors, a nice example of this date represents their single greatest expenditure on a Carson City double eagle." Examples of this issue in AU55 and AU58 grades are in great demand, due to the extreme rarity of Mint State pieces. NGC has only certified six coins in MS60 or better grades. This lovely example has wonderful eye appeal with rich orange-gold luster and sharp design details. The surfaces are lightly marked as usual, but none of the marks are distracting. Census: 23 in 55, 27 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N1793)
