Description

1892-CC Twenty Dollar, Choice AU
Scarcer Carson City Issue

1892-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. One can appreciate the low mintage of the 1892-CC to a greater degree if one remembers that the 1892-S mintage is more than 34 times greater. Examples of the '92-CC were exported into foreign bullion holdings, later to return in the decades after World War II. The present coin likely participated in that journey, probably to Europe and eventually back home to America. It is a lemon-gold Choice AU twenty that exhibits a nice strike and a generous portion of its initial luster. Moderately marked overall, though we note a solitary diagonal line on the cheek.(Registry values: N1793)
