Description

1873-CC Liberty Twenty, AU58
High-End Collector Coin

1873-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1873-CC is the last of the conditionally rare early dates in the Carson City double eagle series. A handful of low-end Uncirculated pieces are known, but in our experience collectors assembling complete CC-mint short sets generally prefer the more attractive high-end AU coins that can be more easily acquired without breaking the bank. This near-Mint piece is remarkably lustrous in the fields and exhibits only light surface chatter with none of the heavy abrasions seen on many Uncirculated pieces. The reverse is arguably unworn, and only a brush of friction across the obverse Liberty portrait prevents a Mint State designation. NGC has seen only 19 finer submissions, likely including duplications (11/17).
