1872-CC Double Eagle, AU Details
Early Carson City Semikey

1872-CC $20 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NCS. AU Details. Variety 1-B, wide CC mintmark. This AU-level example displays strong detail with straw-gold patina and slightly glossy surfaces. Scattered abrasions accompany the grade. When tilted beneath a light, elements of reflectivity are revealed in the protected portions of the fields. The 1872-CC is an early Carson City issue, struck to the extent of only 26,900 coins. Examples are elusive in high grade.

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. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
