Description

1884-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Seldom Seen This Nice
Frosty and CAC-Approved

1884-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. No circulation strikes were manufactured at the Philadelphia Mint in 1884, placing even greater demand on Carson City double eagles minted that year (81,139 coins). However, survivors are generally seen in XF and AU grades, often with problems, and they are seldom offered in mint condition above MS62. Those that have been endorsed for quality by CAC pose an even greater challenge, with little more than a dozen MS62 representatives boasting a green approval sticker.

This lustrous, frosty Carson City double eagle enjoys light orange-gold color with green and rose accents. Scattered grazes are shallow and undistracting. Well-struck and attractive. Population: 85 in 62 (7 in 62+), 7 finer. CAC: 15 in 62, 2 finer (5/20).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BK, PCGS# 9001, Greysheet# 9939)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
