1873-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Elusive in High Grade

1873-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1873-CC is more plentiful than the 1870-CC and 1871-CC double eagles, and it is similar in rarity to the 1872-CC. However, it is several times scarcer overall than most later Carson City issues in this series. Most 1873-CC double eagles seen grade in XF or low AU levels. Near-Mint coins such as the present are scarce, and finer pieces in Mint State are decidedly rare.

This example displays a bold strike and shows almost no discernible wear, with warm peach-gold surfaces and mainly light abrasions. Only a few scattered marks are individually obvious to serve as pedigree markers. Census: 100 in 58 (1 in 58+), 18 finer (1/23).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
