1891-CC Double Eagle, AU58 CAC
Key Type Three Issue

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Winter 1-A. The 1891-CC is the most common Carson City issues for the half eagle and eagle denominations. It is a completely different story for the double eagle, since the 1891-CC is the rarest twenty dollar issue from the facility aside from the early 1870-CC through 1872-CC emissions. It is unclear why only 5,000 1891-CC twenties were struck, but few were saved for numismatic purposes until decades into the 20th century. This is a pleasing Borderline Uncirculated example without consequential contact. Luster is plentiful, and the strike is crisp except on the first three obverse stars.(Registry values: N2998)
