1871-CC Double Eagle, XF45
Scarce Second-Year Semikey

1871-CC $20 XF45 NGC. Variety 1-A. While the first-year 1870-CC double eagle serves as the singular key date among Carson City twenties, the 1871-CC holds its own as the rarest CC double eagle that can still be considered obtainable. Only 17,387 examples of this sough-after Western issue were minted, and the surviving population stands at about 200 to 250 pieces.

This example of Variety 1-A, with the second 1 in the date centered over a dentil, features bright yellow-gold surfaces with myriad abrasions from time in the channels of commerce. The overall design remains strong despite normal friction, and the only mentionable marks occur at 9 o'clock on the obverse rim and at US in TRUST on the reverse.
