Description

Coveted MS62 1875-CC Double Eagle

1875-CC $20 MS62 NGC. A canary-gold twenty that boasts unencumbered cartwheel luster and a Gem quality reverse. The obverse is also surprisingly free from marks, with a concealed abrasion on the bust tip accounting for its MS62 assessment. An interesting thin curved strike-though beneath the chin is of mint origin. The strike is generally sharp, although obverse stars 3, 9, and 10 are incompletely brought up. A combination of low mintages and Western legend ensures demand for the Carson City mintmark. Most double eagles from the facility are circulated, and most Mint State examples are abraded. CC-mint twenties of the present quality are treasured by experienced specialists. Encased in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: N4719)
