Description

Delightful 1882-CC Double Eagle, AU53 PCGS

1882-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. The mintmark leans slightly to the left on this variety, and this late state example has a die crack that encircles all of the reverse lettering. Delightful yellow-gold overlies each side. A few reeding marks are noted on the obverse, but the rest of the abrasions are insignificant. The strike is crisp save for a little softness in the hair bun. Bright, lightly frosted luster shimmers in the fields. A mere 39,140 double eagles were struck at Carson City in 1882.(Registry values: N1793)
