1893-CC Double Eagle, MS62+
Rare CAC-Approved Example

1893-CC $20 MS62+ PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Ex: Bender Collection. David Akers and others have written for decades about the unusual availability of the 1893-CC double eagle in Mint State. Although only 18,402 pieces were struck of this final-year Carson City issue, many were shipped overseas in the foreign trade and were repatriated in recent decades, increasing the supply of coins that never saw Western circulation. The Bender coin is in the occasionally seen MS62 numeric grade, but its Plus designation sets it apart from the majority of its peers. It is also CAC endorsed, an award granted to just 19 other pieces in this grade. Vibrant yellow-gold cartwheel luster adorns well-struck devices and satiny fields. A few light, scattered marks are all that prevent MS63 classification. Population: 7 in 62+, 26 finer. CAC: 20 in 62, 3 finer (7/22).
