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

1879-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. Semiprooflike fields surround sharply struck, lightly frosted devices on this near-Mint State Carson City double eagle. The Nevada Mint struck 10,708 twenties in 1879 -- a small double eagle mintage even by Carson City standards, and the date is notably scarce today. While European repatriates swell the population reports in the past three decades, the finest-known example still grades only MS62 (one by PCGS, another by NGC). This AU58 coin shares several attributes of higher-graded coins, including minimally marked fields and a clear cheek on Liberty. The strike remains sharp as can be and ample flashy mint luster survives. Census: 53 in 58, 10 finer (7/23).(Registry values: N2998)
