Coveted AU 1871-CC Double Eagle

1871-CC $20 AU50 NGC. 1871 was the second year of double eagle production at Carson City, and though 17,387 coins were minted, it is a challenging issue. As Garrett and Guth (2006) note, "By a large margin, the 1871-CC double eagle is the second-rarest Carson City issue. The mintage is small, and most of the production was destined for circulation in Nevada and the surrounding areas. Circulation is the key word, as most of the coins found of this issue are well worn and heavily bagmarked."
Pockets of luster dominate this moderately abraded straw-gold example. Despite a brief trip through the pockets and cash drawers of Old West commerce, wear is slight, and there are no singularly significant marks. This is an important Carson City double eagle, perfect for the advanced gold collection.(Registry values: N1793)
