1892-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Vibrant Cartwheel Luster

1892-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Bender Collection. Only 27,265 double eagles were struck at Carson City in 1892, making this a middle-availability issue among those put out by the Nevada mint. Rusty Goe proposes a healthy surviving population of 1,050 to 1,300 coins, including 195 to 255 pieces in Mint State. However, the 1892-CC twenty is essentially uncollectible above MS62.

This high-grade offering delivers surprisingly vibrant cartwheel luster over luminous yellow-gold surfaces. The eagle's feathers display pinpoint detail, as do Liberty's curls. Minor softness occurs on the stars, and small peppered abrasions appear throughout. Population: 65 in 62 (4 in 62+), 5 finer (6/22).
