1879-CC Liberty Double Eagle, AU55
Low-Mintage Branch Mint Issue

1879-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC Liberty double eagle claims a modest mintage of 10,708 pieces, the fourth-lowest production total of the Carson City series. The coins circulated widely in the hard-money economy of the region, suffering much loss and attrition over the years. Fortunately, a small hoard of examples surfaces in the 1990s to augment the small supply of available specimens. The 1879-CC is still scarce at the AU55 grade level, however, and finer coins are even more elusive. This impressive Choice AU specimen exhibits only light wear on the high points of the design elements, and almost all interior detail remains intact. The lightly abraded orange-gold surfaces show frosty luster on the devices and some prooflike reflectivity in the fields. This coin should find a home in a fine collection of Carson City gold. Census: 77 in 55 (1 in 55+★ ), 63 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N2998)
