Description

1873-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Early Low Mintage Issue

1873-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Ex: Bender Collection. A misplaced date variety, with the top of a date digit in the dentils between the 73 in the date. Three die pairs exist, despite a small mintage of 22,410 pieces. This near-Mint scarcer date Carson City twenty has sea-green and pumpkin-gold toning. The strike is bold except on obverse star 1. Luster illuminates the curls, plumage, legends, rays, and stars. Close examination reveals distributed marks, customary for lightly circulated large denomination gold. Population: 66 in 58, 22 finer. CAC: 14 in 58, 1 finer (7/22).
From The Bender Family Collection, Part I. (Registry values: N2998)
