Description
1890-CC Double Eagle, MS61
Popular Carson City Gold Type Coin
1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Winter 1-A. Like many Carson City
double eagles, an approximate 4% survival rate is normal for the
1890-CC twenties. Given the 91,209-piece mintage, the 1890-CC is a
readily available issue in grades under the Select Uncirculated
level. The mintage was used primarily for international trade and
while a small percentage of the mintage circulated in the local
economy, far fewer of those coins survive. This MS61 example is
likely a repatriated coin showing minor marks and abrasions on
sharply struck orange-gold surfaces. This is the more available of
two die pairs showing die lapping on the right-side tail feathers
and a mintmark mostly centered between TWENTY and DOLLARS. Frosty
cartwheel mint luster provides significant eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BY, PCGS# 9014, Greysheet# 9947)
Weight: 33.44 grams
