Description

Rare 1878-CC Double Eagle

1878-CC $20 Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has been cleaned. This moderately circulated sun-gold Carson City twenty has a bright appearance, and the fields are hairlined and unnaturally reflective. The raised vertical line on Liberty's neck is a die scratch of mint origin. Rare, since only 13,180 pieces were struck, most of which have not survived.

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
