Description

1889-CC Liberty Twenty, MS62
Very Scarce This Fine

1889-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 1-A. Both Morgan dollars and double eagles were affected by the Carson City Mint's closure of coinage operations in the preceding years, although the number of double eagles struck (30,945 pieces) was not exceptionally low. Few of the pieces saw domestic circulation. Most were used for export, and survivors of the mintage owe greatly to hoard coins returned to collectors in the mid-1990s.

Still, the 1889-CC twenty is a conditionally rare issue. Coins finer than MS62 are great rarities, and solid MS62 examples inspire strong prices at auction. This example displays a sharp strike and bountiful mint luster. Abrasions are frequent but shallow and largely non-distracting. Vibrant medium-gold color adds to the excellent eye appeal. Census: 14 in 62, 1 finer (11/17).
