Description

1873-CC Twenty Dollar, AU58
Conditionally Elusive

1873-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. The mintmark is slightly further left on this reverse, which is used for two document 1873-CC double eagle varieties. The obverse is characterized by the "normal date," without the misplaced numeral in the dentils. As a date, the 1873-CC is more plentiful than the previous issues from the Carson City Mint, although it remains elusive in the upper AU grades, and Mint State pieces are rare. This near-Mint example displays ample luster throughout sun-gold surfaces, with sharp motifs that exhibit little high point friction or wear. Only trivial hairlines in the fields from handling are visible, with no distracting abrasions. Census: 106 in 58 (1 in 58+), 17 finer (11/21).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AJ, PCGS# 8968, Greysheet# 9917)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
