1876-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Only Five Examples Certified Finer

1876-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1876-CC double eagle boasts the largest mintage of any CC-mint twenty, at 138,441 pieces. In spite of the high production figure, the issue is not the most common Carson City double eagle in Uncirculated grades. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 2750-3250 examples in all grades, with 100-125 specimens in Mint State. At the MS62 level, the issue is quite scarce. Only five coins have been certified in higher numeric grades, all at NGC (3/10).
The present coin features rich reddish-gold surfaces, with bright, semiprooflike fields. The striking details are sharp throughout. A few small to medium sized abrasions account for the grade. Population: 56 in 62, 0 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
