Description

Condition Rarity 1876-CC Select Double Eagle

1876-CC $20 MS63 NGC. The 1876-CC has the highest mintage figure of any Carson City double eagle (138,441 pieces). It is readily obtainable in the Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated grade levels, and even MS60 through MS62 coins can be located with patience and searching. MS63 and better pieces are rare, however.
The fields of this Select example are partially prooflike and establish modest variance with the central motifs. Peach-gold patina runs over both sides, imbued with traces of light green. Typically struck, in that minor softness is visible in portions of Liberty's hair. Most of the star centers are strong. Some inoffensive scuffs preclude a higher grade. Census: 4 in 63, 1 finer (3/09).
