1891-CC Double Eagle, MS61
Low-Mintage Carson City Twenty

1891-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Winter 1-A. In 2018, Carson City authority Rusty Goe estimated the Uncirculated 1891-CC double eagle population at 26 to 35 coins in all Mint State grades combined. Coupled with the low 5,000-piece mintage (the second-lowest twenty dollar production in the entire Carson City series), the market value for 1891-CC twenties continues to climb. No large quantities of this CC issue have appeared either domestically or from foreign sources. This MS60 example is well-struck with bright cartwheel mint luster that radiates on both sides, supporting its Mint State grade. The fields show remarkably few contact marks among numerous light abrasions, with a modicum of mint grime and a short obverse alloy streak at star 4. There are no heavy marks seen on the frosted light-orange surfaces, although a shallow curved reeding mark exists on Liberty's cheekbone. We expect spirited competition from Carson City specialists and double eagle collectors when this 1891-CC double eagle is called.
