Description

Pleasing 1891-CC Double Eagle, AU58

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. The low mintage of 5,000 pieces for the 1891-CC double eagle is the second lowest for any Carson City twenty dollar, trailing only the 1870-CC with its 3,789 coins. The 1891-CC is only moderately scarce in Very Fine to Extremely Fine grades, but is quite scarce in About Uncirculated, especially in the high-end of this grade category. This issue is rare in Mint State, where fewer than 50 Uncirculated examples have been certified by PCGS and NGC combined, all except one in MS60 to MS62.
A well executed strike leaves crisp definition on the design features of this near-Mint example. Orange-gold surfaces display partially prooflike fields that establish mild contrast with the devices. While "nearly always seen with deep, dense abrasions " (Douglas Winter, 2001), the present offering only has scattered relatively light contacts associated with a large gold coin that has seen brief circulation.(Registry values: N2998)
