1872-CC $20

Description

A Nice AU 1872-CC Double Eagle

1872-CC $20 AU 50 PCGS. Very lustrous and attractive with medium, soft orange-gold and pale rose color over lustrous surfaces. With the exception of two pairs of small but noticeable reeding marks on the face of Liberty, this coin has very clean surfaces. This is unusual as most 1872-CC double eagles show heavy abrasions. The last 1872-CC twenty we sold at auction that compared to this piece was the PCGS AU 55 that brought $10,063 in our November 1999 Santa Clara Sale. This lovely coin, in an old PCGS holder, should elicit a number of very strong bids.
The 1872-CC is considerably less scarce than the 1871-CC but it becomes an extremely difficult coin to find in the middle range of AU. In the highest ranges of this grade, the 1872-CC is a very rare coin and there are probably no more than two or three properly graded Uncirculated examples currently known.
