1889-CC Liberty Double Eagle, MS62
Rare Any Finer

1889-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The Carson City Mint resumed coinage operations in 1889, after a four-year hiatus. A modest mintage of 30,945 Liberty double eagles was accomplished, but the issue is not as difficult to locate as the small production total would suggest, thanks to a significant hoard that surfaced in the mid-1990s. The 1889-CC is still scarce at the MS62 grade level, however, and finer coins are condition rarities. All the coins were struck from the same die pair, identified by light die doubling at the bottom of Liberty's ear, and die chips near the upper-right serif of the N in TWENTY. This impressive MS62 specimen displays sharply detailed design elements throughout. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster and show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. The overall presentation is most attractive. Population: 70 in 62 (7 in 62+), 10 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N4719)
