1879-CC Twenty Dollar, AU58
Low Mintage, Rare Any Finer

1879-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. The Carson City Mint followed up one low-mintage issue in 1878 with another in 1879. The 1879-CC double eagle is about as scarce as its predecessor and claims an even lower production total of just 10,708 pieces. Most collectors would consider the issue unobtainable in Mint State -- Garrett and Guth call it a "great and desirably rarity" at that level -- placing added pressure on near-Mint coins like this. Orange-gold surfaces exhibit a trace of semiprooflikeness in the fields. Strongly struck devices show barely a hint of rub over their highest points. Census: 51 in 58, 10 finer (8/22).
