Description

Strong Choice AU 1884-CC Twenty

1884-CC $20 AU55 NGC. While modestly worn, this slightly dusky gold-orange Carson City twenty is awash in luster, and thanks to a bold strike, the details on the devices are crisp. Just a handful of scattered abrasions are present on each side. Like several other higher-mintage CC-mint double eagles, the 1884-CC is available for a price even in the AU levels, though the patient buyer will be the one most rewarded when a coin like this comes up for auction.(Registry values: N1793)
