Description

1891-CC Twenty Dollar, AU55
Only 5,000 Coins Minted

1891-CC $20 AU55 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1891-CC double eagle is famous for its low mintage of 5,000 coins and, to a lesser extent, for its late-date status. Only the 1870-CC claims a lower production total among Carson City twenties. While this issue is far more accessible than that first-year rarity, only 265 to 325 pieces are thought to exist, according to Rusty Goe (2020). The present offering showcases elements of semiprooflikeness in the fields that complement the orange-gold color. Every facet of the design is strongly rendered without much evidence of wear at all. Population: 30 in 55, 58 finer (8/22).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26C3, PCGS# 9017, Greysheet# 9949)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 1.06oz
Mintage: 5,000
