Description

Scarce 1873-CC Twenty Dollar, AU53

1873-CC $20 AU53 NGC. The 1873-CC double eagle (22,410 mintage) is usually found in Extremely Fine or About Uncirculated condition. Douglas Winter, in his Carson City Mint reference, writes that this issue has become more available due to the discovery of some small hoards in the 1990s, but is still scarce in the lower to middle AU grades. This AU53 example is relatively well struck, showing strong radials in all obverse stars. Honey-gold surfaces display races of luster in the protected areas. A number of minute marks are scattered over each side, which is typical for this issue.(Registry values: N2998)
