Description

Pleasing Uncirculated 1890-CC Twenty Dollar With Original Color

1890-CC $20 MS 61 PCGS. An easily obtainable issue by CC-mint double eagle standards, the 1890-CC is still, however, a scarce and desirable coin in Mint State. This example's pleasing overall appearance belies the MS 61 grade. There are relatively few abrasions, and those that are present are small and not overly conspicuous. Both sides present a deeply colored, crimson-gold sheen with nicely frosted features.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
