Description

1879-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Conditionally Elusive

1879-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. Only one documented die pair was used to produce 10,708 double eagles at the Carson City Mint in 1879. NGC has only certified 10 Mint State 1879-CC double eagles, likely including resubmissions, making this near-Mint example an excellent value, offering an attractive coin at a presumably reasonable price. This piece is typical of 1879-CC twenties, with a sharp strike, nearly complete mint frost, and minimal marks of no consequence. Although below the Mint State grade level, this piece probably ranks among the dozen finest surviving examples. Census: 51 in 58, 10 finer (9/17).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B7, PCGS# 8989, Greysheet# 9930)
