Description
1875-CC Twenty Cent, MS65
Soft, Glowing Luster
1875-CC 20C MS65 PCGS. CAC. BF-3, R.4. The 1875-CC is widely
popular as the only one of the two Carson City twenty cent issues
that is readily obtainable. Nonetheless, Gem examples are seldom
seen, and anything finer is extremely rare. For the collector
holding out for a high-end example, this MS65 coin offers a wealth
of eye appeal and technical merit. Both sides show pale golden-gray
patina, but with more vivid sun-gold hues in the recesses that
deliver a halo effect around the devices when tilted beneath a
light. Small areas of blue and violet are also present, and the
underlying surfaces are devoid of detracting abrasions. The upper
portion of the eagle's left (facing) wing, as well as the
corresponding portion of the obverse rock base are not fully
struck, as usual, but the eye appeal is only minimally affected.
