1877-CC Twenty, AU58
Seldom Located Any Finer

1877-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 3-A. In addition to the uneven placement of the letters in the mintmark, this variety also shows a die line to the upper right of the E in AMERICA. The 1877-CC is not quite as scarce as once thought due to the repatriations from Europe in recent decades, as Rusty Goe explains in his recent exhaustive three-volume work on Carson City coinage. Still, the 1877-CC is a scarce issue with only 2.5 to 3% of the original mintage believed known today, or an estimated 1,100 to 1,300 pieces in all grades. Uncirculated coins are especially challenging, making this near-Mint piece an especially good value. The fields are bright and moderately reflective on each side, and the surfaces display pale, even reddish patina throughout with no mentionable abrasions.
