Quality AU55 1879-CC Double Eagle

1879-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. The 1879-CC double eagle has always enjoyed a reputation as elusive, thanks to a mintage that barely touches five figures. While recent discoveries have added a small number of pieces to the known population, in many ways, these additional coins have merely whetted the appetites of collectors for better examples. This is a Choice AU representative with ample yellow-gold luster remaining in lightly abraded fields. Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers remain well-defined, and only minor wear is visible on the highest design elements. Great quality and eye appeal by AU55 standards. Population: 21 in 55, 24 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N2998)
