Description

Scarce 1879-CC Double Eagle

1879-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF example that has been cleaned. This green-gold rare date Carson City twenty is hairlined and exhibits highpoint wear, but luster glimmers from design crevices, and there are few bagmarks.

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
