Description

1885-CC Double Eagle, XF45
Natural Green and Reddish-Gold Color

1885-CC $20 XF45 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The only dies for the issue. All 1885-CC double eagles showcase die lines around the lowest curl at Liberty's shoulder. Only 9,450 coins were struck in total, and Rusty Goe estimates that around 400 of them, give or take, survive. This one, which is clearly high-end for the XF grade level, exhibits flashes of original luster around the devices, and the surfaces display eye-appealing shades of natural green and reddish-gold color. There are a few small marks on the upper portion of Liberty's cheek, but the fields are otherwise void of distracting flaws.(Registry values: N1793)
