1890-CC Double Eagle, MS62
The Scarcer Variety

1890-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 2-B. The second C in the mintmark is over the upright of the D in DOLLARS on this variety that is substantially scarcer than Variety 1-A. In fact, a quick review of our Permanent Auction Archives indicates that only about 10% of 1890-CC double eagles are from this die pair. This is the finest example of the 2-B die pairing that we have offered since starting our archives 30 years ago. Previously, an MS61 PCGS example appeared in our March 2018 Dallas Signature event. Examples of the 1890-CC twenty are rarely encountered in finer grades. This piece has inconsequential marks on each side that are expected at this grade level. Wispy pink overtones appear on the brilliant and lustrous yellow gold surfaces of this lovely Mint State example. Population: 82 in 62 (4 in 62+), 8 finer (12/22).(Registry values: N4719)
