Description

1876-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Natural Coppery Color, Swirling Luster

1876-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 6-A. Ex: Fairmont-Bender. A small die chip behind Liberty's eye and the right edge of the second C in the mintmark aligned with the left edge of T below confirm the die variety. The 1876-CC double eagle enjoys a relatively substantial mintage for a Carson City twenty dollar issue, with 138,441 pieces struck. Accessibility is commensurate with the production total but only in lower grades. The finest examples seen by PCGS are no higher than MS62, although 62 submissions are reported at that level. Rusty Goe speculates that the actual surviving population in that grade is about 20 to 45 pieces.

Swathes of natural copper-red color grace luminous yellow-gold surfaces. Uninhibited mint luster swirls over each well-preserved side with few major marks present. Strongly struck for the type with terrific eye appeal and quality for the grade, which CAC has recognized. Population: 62 in 62, 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 62, 0 finer (7/22).
