1884-CC Double Eagle, AU55

1884-CC $20 AU55 NGC. According to official records 81,139 double eagles were produced at the Carson City Mint in 1884. Doug Winter believes 1,250-1,500 coins survive today in all grades, with 250-350 examples in AU. Only one die variety is known for the date. The present coin is lightly worn on all surfaces and retains much of its original mint luster. The surfaces show numerous minor handling marks, primarily on the obverse. The surfaces are a pleasing greenish-gold, with hints of peach around the devices.(Registry values: N1793)
