Description

1873-CC Twenty Dollar, AU58+
Worthy of an Advanced Collection

1873-CC $20 AU58+ NGC. Variety 1-A. No misplaced date digit in the denticles. The Carson City Mint was only its fourth year of coining operations when it struck 22,410 1873-CC double eagles. That was a slight decrease from the 26,900 twenty dollar gold coins struck the year before, but both the 1872-CC and 1873-CC are considerably more obtainable than their first and second-year counterparts. That is not to say the 1873-CC is plentiful, and certainly not in this high grade. Yellow-gold surfaces are virtually unworn and showcase a hint of prooflike reflectivity in the fields. Strike definition is good, and marks are less obtrusive than expected. Only 17 submissions graded finer at NGC (3/21), making this a worthy candidate for an advanced set.(Registry values: N2998)
