Description

1876-CC Twenty Dollar, MS62
Scarce at This Grade, None Finer at PCGS

1876-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 3-A. At least 11 die pairs were needed to accomplish the 138,441-piece mintage. The Carson City Mint mixed and matched dies to keep the coining presses running and making the most of its limited die resources. This 1876-CC double eagle was struck from a cracked but resilient reverse die, with numerous cracks within the legends. The obverse die shows a faint crack at stars 1 through 3. This is a brilliant Mint State 62 example, with fewer marks and abrasions than often seen for the grade, housed in an older PCGS holder with the light-blue label and the barcode on the reverse in use between 1998 and 2002. Brilliant orange-gold surfaces are crisply struck and alive with vibrant mint luster. PCGS reports several 1876-CC coins at this Uncirculated grade, but none any finer. Population: 68 in 62, 0 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N4719)
