Description

1891-CC Twenty, AU55
Rich Coloration and Well Struck

1891-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Only one die pair was used to strike the 5,000 coins in Carson City in 1891. The surfaces display rich patina and are unquestionably original. The strike is boldly brought up in all areas. Some of the original luster remains; enough, in fact, to reveal traces of modest brightness in the fields when viewed at direct angles. Scattered abrasions are consistent with a CC-mint twenty at this grade level, and most are somewhat subdued by the original texture.
