Description

Bold AU58 1873-CC Twenty

1873-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. In only its fourth year of production, the Carson City Mint is known to have struck dimes (With Arrows, No Arrows), quarters (two types), half dollars (two types), Seated and Trade dollars, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles. Apparently the Mint was spread thin in this year, due to the wide-ranging requirements of the Mint Act of 1873. The low-mintage 1873-CC double eagle seldom is seen in Mint State, more frequently in AU or XF. This piece demonstrates boldly lustrous orange-gold surfaces that are only lightly abraded, with good eye appeal.(Registry values: N2998)
