Description

Sharp 1879-CC Twenty Dollar, XF40

1879-CC $20 XF40 PCGS. Decreased gold deposits and a national effort to increase production of gold half eagles and eagles led to the minuscule mintage of only 10,708 pieces for this issue. The present piece, while lightly worn, reveals just a few surface and rim marks, and the fields retain considerable luster, even at the XF40 level. The coloration is a lovely orange-gold. This is a sharp coin for the designated grade.(Registry values: N1793)
