Description

1876-CC Twenty Dollar, VF35
Colorful Branch Mint Piece

1876-CC $20 VF35 PCGS. Winter 5-A. The Carson City Branch Mint struck 138,441 double eagles in 1876, and even though it is the largest production of the series, Mint State examples are challenging. From the final issue of Type Two double eagles, this VF35 Liberty twenty features refreshingly vibrant patina with deep orange-gold. Hues of apricot and lavender in the recesses and device borders mix with slightly diminished luster to release a colorful cartwheel effect, which is quite strong for the grade. Abrasions are grade-consistent with none of significance. A network of die lines within the neck curls, along with a diagonal line between the denticles under the N and T on the reverse, are diagnostics for the variety.(Registry values: N1793)
From The Grant Powell Collection.
