Description

Charming AU 1878-CC Twenty

1878-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. The 1878-CC has a much lower mintage than its 1874 to 1877 Carson City predecessors, and is decidedly scarce in AU relative to demand. This sun-gold example has plentiful bright luster, and although minor marks are inevitable, they are fewer than expected for the alloy, diameter, and grade. Population: 30 in 50, 60 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B4, PCGS# 8986, GSID# 9928)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
Mintage: 13,180


Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”.
