Description

Scarce 1885-CC Liberty Head Twenty, AU53

1885-CC $20 AU53 NGC. The 1885-CC Type Three Liberty Head double eagle is one of the scarcest dates of the decade, with a paltry mintage of 9,450 pieces. Examples are scarce in AU grades today. The present coin is sharply struck, with some wear showing on Liberty's coronet and the eagle's head. Much original mint luster remains, especially on the reverse. The surfaces are largely unabraded.(Registry values: N2998)
