Description

1873-CC Double Eagle, XF45
Partly Flashy Fields

1873-CC $20 XF45 NGC. Variety 1-A. Without the misplaced date digit in the dentils below 73. This Choice XF Carson City double eagle retains a surprising and substantial degree of field reflectivity considering its time spent in commerce. Orange-gold surfaces show devices that were clearly well-struck but now exhibit expected merging. There are a few heavy abrasions on Liberty's cheek and brow, and on the curls below the B in LIBERTY, but eye appeal is good. From a mintage of 22,410 coins.
From The Simba Collection, Part III. (Registry values: N2998)
