Description

1890-CC Liberty Twenty, AU58
Substantial Mint Luster, Original Color

1890-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Winter 1-A. Carson City authority Rusty Goe estimates the surviving population of 1890-CC double eagles at the AU58 grade level between 550 to 700 pieces despite the combined AU58 population by PCGS and NGC exceeding 1,000 grading events. In any case, the 1890-CC represents an outstanding opportunity to obtain a nearly Mint State CC double eagle with surfaces that are arguably more attractive than many technically full Mint State pieces. This is such a coin, with nearly full luster and only nominal circulation wear. The original orange-gold surfaces exude old West eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26BY, PCGS# 9014, Greysheet# 9947)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
