1885-CC $20 AU50 NGC. Winter 1-A. The Carson City Mint ceased coin production in March 1885 with the advent of the Grover Cleveland administration. Although its mintage was small -- only 9,450 pieces were struck -- the 1885-CC double eagle was shipped in quantity overseas, and small groups have returned to U.S. shores. Circulated examples also exist, and are more likely pieces saved from domestic use in commerce. This pleasing AU50 example displays glints of original mint luster, with lilac patina dappling the orange-gold surfaces. Smooth, sharply struck surfaces reveal a scattering of tiny marks under magnification alongside faint circulation wear. The eye appeal is excellent for the assigned grade.(Registry values: N2998)
