1889-CC Double Eagle, MS61
Bright and Lustrous

1889-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The year 1889 saw the abolition of two gold denominations: the gold dollar and three dollar. At the same time these two series were winding down, output at the Carson City Mint was starting back up. The facility had been out of commission for three years dating from 1886 to 1888. Upon its reopening, the Nevada branch mint managed to produce small quantities of silver dollars and double eagles. Only 30,945 1889-CC twenty dollar gold pieces were manufactured. High-grade examples, especially those in Mint State, are in ever-strong demand on today's market This luminous yellow-gold double eagle exhibits almost complete design detail. An exception would be star 8, which lacks full radials. Small abrasions are unsurprising. A copper alloy spot occurs above the hair bun.(Registry values: N2998)
