Description

1879-CC Double Eagle, AU50
Nicely Preserved Example

1879-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC double eagle is a midseries entry with a low mintage of 10,708 pieces. Small gold deposits and an increased Treasury emphasis on coining half eagles and eagles led to low double eagle production at the Carson City Mint. The average certified survivor is only about Choice XF. This AU specimen offers some original luster remaining along with faint prooflikeness under light field chatter. The surfaces are deep reddish-orange with glints of green. An appealing and nicely preserved example.
