Description

1879-CC Liberty Twenty, AU55
Popular Low-Mintage Issue

1879-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC Liberty double eagle claims the fourth-lowest mintage of the series, at a meager 10,708 pieces. The 1879-CC actually is more available than the small production total would suggest, probably due to a small hoard of XF-AU specimens that surfaced in the early 1990s. Doug Winter estimates the surviving population as 300-350 examples in all grades. The present coin is an impressive Choice AU specimen that shows some light wear on the coronet and Liberty's hair. The design elements are well-detailed, with just a touch of softness on the eagle's tail feathers. The orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded for the issue and show prooflike reflectivity in sheltered areas. Eye appeal is quite strong.
