Description

1884-CC Liberty Double Eagle, MS62
Few Abrasions, Vibrant Orange-Gold Color

1884-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Rough handling during transport and storage took its toll on Carson City double eagles throughout their years of production at the old Nevada Mint, but thankfully a few less-abraded coins survive. Of these, MS62 examples are highly prized, since finer coins are prohibitively rare. Nearly all 1884-CC double eagles fall into the VF to MS61 range.

The present coin is one level finer than the normal high water mark, but it is a big difference. Vibrant orange-gold color flows over minimally marked surfaces. The strike is razor-sharp as often seen on this Carson City twenty. Frosted mint luster radiates from both sides. A tiny edge flaw at star 9 is a minute planchet defect that does not touch the dentils. Population: 74 in 62, 6 finer (6/17).(Registry values: N4719)
