Description

Desirable Uncirculated 1890-CC Twenty Dollar Gold

1890-CC $20 MS61 NGC. The 1875-CC and 1876-CC are more common as far as the total number of coins known, but in high grades, short of Uncirculated, the 1890-CC is the most available Carson City Double Eagle. In Uncirculated grades, the trend reverses, with the 1875-CC being about twice as common as the 1890-CC. There are 200 1890-CC Double Eagles extant in Uncirculated condition, most evenly distributed between MS60 and MS61. The deep, rich mint frost on the present example shows light orange-gold coloration and there are a number of small abrasions on the obverse, but none are singularly notable. The 1890-CC is quite scarce in MS62 and it is extremely rare in MS63.
