1891-CC Double Eagle, AU55
Rare CAC-Approved Example

1891-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Rian's Bequest. The 1891-CC boasts one of the lowest mintages in the Carson City double eagle series (just 5,000 coins), and it ranks among the most elusive dates overall. In The Confident Carson City Coin Collector, Rusty Goe estimates the survivorship of this issue at 5.5 to 6.5 percent of the mintage -- a significant percentage for Carson City double eagles, but one that results in a limited number of pieces known due to the small figure of that original mintage. This Choice AU example is exceptional for the grade, yielding soft, satiny yellow-gold luster and sharp design elements. No major abrasions are seen. One of just a half dozen coins in this grade with CAC endorsement. Population: 30 in 55, 55 finer. CAC: 6 in 55, 17 finer (11/21).
