1883-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Exceptional Branch Mint Type Coin

1883-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. The 1883-CC Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 59,962 pieces and the issue is actually more available than that modest production total would suggest. It seems likely that many of the coins were used in overseas commerce, rather than the regional economy, and later repatriated to this country. The 1883-CC is a favorite choice of branch mint type collectors.

This attractive MS62 example exhibits well-detailed design elements and lustrous orange-gold surfaces that show remarkably few signs of contact for such a large gold coin. The overall presentation is most attractive and this coin will be a welcome addition to a fine collection or Registry Set. Population: 17 in 62, 4 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N4719)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
