Impressive AU 1878-CC Twenty

1878-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. The Carson City twenties from 1874 through 1876 all have mintages of more than 100,000 pieces. But the 1878-CC is very scarce, since only 13,180 coins were struck. The present AU example displays an impressive amount of luster beneath the apricot and khaki-gold toning. Both sides lack noticeable marks, since the vertical line on Liberty's neck is actually a mint-made die scratch.(Registry values: N2998)
