Description

Delightfully Colored 1885-CC Twenty, AU53

1885-CC $20 AU53 NGC. Much radiant luster is still present on this AU53 1885-CC double eagle, a small mintage even by Carson City Mint standards at 9,450 coins. This issue is among the rarest CC-mint twenties from the decade of the 1880s. The present example should inspire spirited bidding, with its combination of delightful reddish-orange patina, a decent strike, and no singular abrasions.
