Description

1883-CC Double Eagle, MS61
Popular Carson City Issue

1883-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1883-CC Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 59,962 pieces, making it an available issue in the context of the series and a popular choice of mintmark type collectors. The surviving population numbers approximately 900-1,000 pieces in all grades, but Mint State examples are very scarce.

This attractive MS61 specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements and lustrous orange-gold surfaces that show a minimum number of minor contact marks for the grade. Visual appeal is outstanding. This coin will be a welcome addition to a fine collection of Carson City gold. Population: 53 in 61, 25 finer (12/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BH, PCGS# 8999, Greysheet# 9937)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
