Description

1884-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Rare Issue in High Grade

1884-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. The only known dies for the date. A total of 81,139 Liberty Head double eagles was struck at the Carson City Mint in 1884. The issue is scarce to rare in all grades today, with an estimated surviving population of 125-150 pieces. PCGS has certified 36 specimens in MS62, and PCGS and NGC combined have graded only eight coins in higher grades (5/10). The present coin shows slight softness on the central devices--unsurprising, since the 1884-CC is the most difficult CC-mint double eagle of the decade to locate with a sharp strike. The luster is bright and frosty, and the surfaces show a moderate number of abrasions for the grade.(Registry values: N4719)
