Description

1882-CC Twenty Dollar, MS62
Exemplary CAC-Endorsed Example

1882-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-B. Ex: Bender Collection. Mint State examples of the 1882-CC double eagle are occasionally seen in MS61, and a number of impaired pieces with Uncirculated sharpness are known. However, the issue is rare in MS62, and just four coins are reported numerically finer, all at PCGS (7/22). This example has the added appeal of CAC endorsement. Softly frosted peach-gold luster complements a sharp strike and vibrant cartwheel bands. Light surface marks and grazes limit the grade, but the overall eye appeal is excellent for the MS62 level. Only five pieces in this grade carry CAC endorsement, and only two of the four finer submissions at PCGS are CAC endorsed (7/22). For the quality-conscious collector, this coin represents an incredible find and a rare opportunity. Population: 30 in 62 (6 in 62+), 4 finer. CAC: 5 in 62, 2 finer (7/22).
