1873-CC Double Eagle, AU58
High-End for the Grade

1873-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. The Carson City Mint produced trivial quantities of doubles during the first four years of operation, as coinage was largely dictated by the requests of depositors. By 1874, Carson City twenties were beginning to be included in foreign trade exports, and coinage increased proportionately. The 1873-CC double eagle had a low mintage of 22,410 coins (all with the Closed 3 logotype) and most survivors grade in the XF to lower AU range. In Mint State, this issue is a great rarity, which puts high demand on the limited population of upper-end AU coins. This CAC-approved near-Mint example boasts almost no signs of wear, and the fields yield substantial wheat-gold luster. A few trivial abrasions are not distracting, and Liberty's cheek is surprisingly smooth. An outstanding piece for both the issue and grade. Population: 61 in 58, 13 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N2998)
