Description

Important 1889-CC Double Eagle, MS62

1889-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Housed in a green label PCGS holder. The 1889-CC twenty is a popular issue that rides on the coat tales of the famous '89-CC Morgan dollar. Throughout the year, Carson City produced 30,945 double eagles, a low mintage compared to many other double eagle issues, but a rather significant quantity for that Mint.
This important specimen approaches the finest survivors with its frosty yellow surfaces and bold design features. Both sides have minor abrasions and spots, with a dark toning spot at the final S in STATES. Here is an excellent opportunity for the specialist. Population: 51 in 62, 6 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BV, PCGS# 9011, Greysheet# 9945)

Weight: 33.44 grams
