Pleasing 1879-CC Double Eagle, XF40

1879-CC $20 XF40 NGC. In 1879, the Carson City Mint produced a mere 10,708 double eagles. Perhaps it was because they were so busy producing large quantities of Morgan dollars, but gold mintages dropped considerably, starting in 1878. This piece has pale yellow surfaces with hints of luster around the devices..(Registry values: N1793)
