1873-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Lustrous and Appealing Example

1873-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. For the double eagle series, the 1873-CC issue was a fairly meager 22,410 pieces, far higher than the mintages of the (fabulously rare) 1870-CC and the (just downright rare) 1871-CC but lower than the 1872-CC. Nonetheless, both the 1872-CC and 1873-CC are, due to some small hoard discoveries, merely scarce today, and still elusive in Mint State. This near-Mint State example displays sharply struck orange-yellow surfaces that show excellent eye appeal and a relative absence of mentionable marks. This piece would make a super example for type purposes or to represent Carson City in a complete-mintmark Liberty Head double eagle collection.
