Description

Still-Lustrous AU50 1891-CC Twenty

1891-CC $20 AU50 PCGS. The 1891-CC double eagle bucks the trend of the other CC-mint gold denominations that year, with only 5,000 of the twenties struck versus the six-figure mintages of fives and tens. This lightly worn example, like many of its fellows, has a well-defined reverse and central obverse but flat stars. Still-lustrous yellow-gold surfaces have significant alloy close to the rims. Most notably about this coin, while there are numerous wispy marks, there are few of the heavy abrasions that so often characterize the issue. PCGS has certified 80 examples finer (4/10).
