1883-CC Liberty Twenty, MS62
Very Rare Any Finer

1883-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 2-A. The 1883-CC Liberty double eagle claims a modest mintage of 59,962 pieces, but the issue is not as elusive as the small production total would suggest. In fact, the 1883-CC is a reasonably available issue in the context of the series, making it a popular choice with branch mint type collectors. The 1883-CC was well-produced, and a number of lower Mint State specimens have been repatriated from European holdings in recent years. That being said, it is still a significant challenge to find an example in MS62 condition, and finer coins are very rare.

The present coin is an impressive MS62 specimen, with vivid orange-gold surfaces that retain much of their original mint luster and are lightly abraded for the grade. The design elements are sharply detailed throughout and overall eye appeal is outstanding. The small spike from the dentils above the E in STATES and a couple of die chips near star 9 identify the Variety 2-A. Census: 7 in 62, 3 finer (11/17).
