1871-CC Double Eagle, AU Details
Key Date

1871-CC $20 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. AU. Winter 1-A. The 1871-CC double eagle is the second key issue from the Carson City mint, only surpassed by the 1870-CC. The issue was ostensibly more difficult to obtain, and while efforts made to repatriate the issue continue to prove successful in increasing the availability by a substantial margin, it has not been enough to satisfy the collective demand. This piece displays uniform gold coloring with scattered abrasions and marks in the field, though none prove overly egregious to the appeal. Some light circulation wear is along Liberty's hair as well as the ribbons on the reverse, though this is expected given the grade assessment. The present specimen represents a phenomenal opportunity for Carson City Mint collectors to obtain this key date issue.(Registry values: N1793)

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price.
