Description

1883-CC Liberty Twenty, MS61
Popular Branch Mint Type Coin

1883-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 2-A. The 1883-CC Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 59,962 pieces, making it one of the more available dates of the Carson City series and a popular choice with branch mint type collectors. That being said, the 1883-CC does become very scarce at the MS61 grade level, and finer examples are rare.

The present coin is an impressive MS61 specimen, with vivid orange-gold surfaces that show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. The design elements are sharply rendered, with a tiny spike from the dentils on the reverse above the E in STATES and two small die chips on the obverse, near star 9. Vibrant mint luster adds to the outstanding visual appeal. Census: 58 in 61, 11 finer (3/17).(Registry values: N4719)
