Elusive 1879-CC Double Eagle, AU55

1879-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. The '79-CC double eagle, a low mintage issue of 10,708 pieces, has "always been considered rare in all grades," according to Garrett and Guth's Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins (2006). This Choice AU example displays semi-reflective surfaces with much remaining luster. Pleasing lime-gold coloration covers both sides. The design elements are uniformly well struck, although several interesting die characteristics are noted, including light die rust on the upper obverse and die lumps beneath all four digits in the date. Faint wear is noted on the high points, and wispy hairlines appear in the fields. Population: 19 in 55, 28 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N2998)
