Scarce AU55 1873-CC Twenty Dollar

1873-CC $20 AU55 NGC. The 1873-CC double eagle, with a mintage of 22,410 pieces, is usually found in Extremely Fine or About Uncirculated condition. Douglas Winter (2001) notes that this issue has become more available in recent years due to the discovery of some small hoards in the 1990s, but goes on to say: "This issue is still scarce in the lower to middle About Uncirculated grades and ... About Uncirculated 58's are very scarce. Full Mint state coins are quite rare."
This peach-gold Choice AU example exhibits luster in the recessed areas, and the design features are relatively well struck. Most of the star centrils are strong, as is the eagle's plumage, while some softness is apparent in Liberty's hair. A few minute marks are visible, more so on the obverse, but are not "deep and detracting," as Winter says is typical for "nearly every known 1873-CC double eagle."(Registry values: N2998)
