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. Population: 22 in 65, 8 finer (3/15).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23R6, PCGS# 5297, Greysheet# 5039)
