Description
1889-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Rarely Found Finer
1889-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. After a brief hiatus
that began in 1886, the Carson City Mint began regular coinage
again in late 1889. Double eagle production in that year, however,
amounted to only a little more than 30,000 coins (far fewer than
were struck of the more popular Morgan dollar of this same year),
and most of these experienced extensive circulation. Mint State
survivors are scarce in all grades, but become extremely rare above
the MS62 level. The surfaces on this MS62 piece show the scuffiness
one would expect from a coin of this grade, but with full mint
frost over each side. The design elements are well-defined and the
surfaces display lovely green-gold luster. Population: 56 in 62, 7
finer (3/15).Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 10126.(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BV, PCGS# 9011, Greysheet# 9945)
Weight: 33.44 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
