Unsurpassable 1883-CC Liberty Double Eagle, MS63 PCGS

1883-CC $20 MS63 PCGS. While one of the more available Carson City issues in lower grades, all CC Double Eagles are rare and worthwhile coins in strict Mint condition. This is a solid MS63 example, with original surfaces, a modicum of abrasions, and full luster, along with lovely pink and lemon-gold colors. Several small charcoal-colored spots reside near the reverse peripheries, but are only a slight distraction. Although the 1883-CC has a surprisingly high rate of survival (900 to 1,000+ extant) for a frontier era gold coin, with just 59,962 pieces produced, Mint State survivors number just 65-75 examples (per Winter and Halperin, 2001), and none of those examples has been graded higher than MS63, by either of the major services. This offering, therefore, would seem to represent a significant opportunity for the advanced collector of Carson City Mint gold.
