Description

1885-CC Double Eagle, AU55
Scarce, Low-Mintage Issue

1885-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. From a small mintage of just 9,450 pieces, the 1885-CC Liberty double eagle is the scarcest Carson City twenty of the decade. Probably 350-400 examples survive in all grades today, with most examples seen in the XF-AU grade range. This attractive Choice AU specimen displays just a touch of wear on the design elements, which show much better-than-average detail for the issue. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces are lightly abraded and retain much of their original mint luster. Altogether, a most attractive representative of this scarce and underrated issue.
