Description

Scarce Semikey 1871-CC Twenty, XF40 Details

1871-CC $20 --Cleaned--ANACS. XF40 Details. Variety 1-A. The 1871-CC is a well known rarity among CC-mint twenties, second only to the undisputed key to the series of Carson City double eagles, the 1870-CC. Heavy demand in the Western region of the country left few survivors, fewer still in well-preserved condition, among the already low production of 17,387 pieces. This example displays a typical amount of circulation and abrasions for the issue and, although bright from an old cleaning, is still an attractive example of this semikey CC twenty.
