Description

1889-CC $20 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned and has altered surfaces. The cloudy yellow-gold surfaces show hairlines from a past cleaning and evidence of alloy at the right reverse rim. Well-defined with minimal wear.
Ex: Stack's (3/2009), lot 6137.


Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
