Description

Nearly Uncirculated 1884-CC Twenty

1884-CC $20 AU 58 PCGS. The 1884-CC is the second most common CC-mint double eagle after the 1890-CC, but most examples grade XF or below with distracting alloy spots and/or grease stains. This is a lovely, problem-free example whose surfaces have the look of a Mint State grade. The devices are crisply, if not fully defined, and the number of abrasions is not excessive for a gold coin from the frontier era. The yellow-gold surfaces retain ample mint frost.
