Description

1878-CC Twenty Dollar, XF40
13,180 Coins Struck

1878-CC $20 XF40 PCGS. Variety 2-B. The rare Narrow CC variety. Roughly 3% of the 13,180 double eagles struck at the Carson City Mint in 1878 are believed to survive -- a relatively high rate that still only leaves about 400 to 450 examples available for collectors. This moderately circulated representative maintains faint hints of mint luster. The stars show full radial lines, while Liberty and the eagle display expected friction. Myriad ticks are scattered over bright yellow-gold surfaces. A challenging Nevada issue, much more so than its immediate predecessors.(Registry values: N1793)
