Description

Bright, Semiprooflike 1876-CC Twenty
Popular Type Two Issue, Mint State

1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. It is ironic that a Carson City issue, a Mint that is generally very scarce in Uncirculated grades, would rank among the most available twenties in this elusive, short-lived type. A couple of recently discovered, small hoards accounts for this availability. This piece exhibits the often-seen semiprooflike fields on each side, and the reddish-gold surfaces show fewer abrasions than usually seen. The only mark of consequence is a long reeding mark in the upper left obverse field. The 1876-CC is generally available in MS60-61 grades, and pieces in these grades represent excellent value in a Type Two twenty.(Registry values: N4719)
