Description

Scarce 1871-CC Double Eagle, AU50

1871-CC $20 AU50 NGC. According to Douglas Winter and Michael Fuljenz, writing in Type Two Double Eagles 1866-1876 (1999): "The 1871-CC is the most difficult Type Two double eagle for the collector of average means to acquire."
This piece is generally well struck, although the centers and a few of the obverse stars are not full. A substantial degree of semi-prooflikeness remains evident in the fields. Even highpoint wear and numerous small abrasions define the grade of this conditionally scarce AU example. Just 17,387 pieces were produced, and only around 250 coins have been graded by NGC and PCGS combined, in all grades. (Registry values: N1793)
