Description

1891-CC Twenty Dollar, AU58
Challenging, Low-Mintage CC Issue

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. The 1891-CC twenty is an important rarity, and has the second lowest mintage of any double eagle from this mint (5,000 pieces), behind the 1870-CC (3,789 coins). It is difficult to locate in Mint State, and when seen in that condition is likely to be between MS60 and MS62. A mere two MS63 pieces have been certified (one at each service), and none are finer.
Just a trace of wear on the highest design points keep this specimen from Mint State. The fields are slightly reflective and each side has nearly complete mint luster and is sharply struck. Hints of rose, sky-blue, and lavender toning are confined to the peripheries, mostly on the reverse, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. A few minute bagmarks and luster grazes are noted on the obverse, but do not distract. Census: 81 in 58 (2 in 58+, 1 in 58★ ), 35 finer (4/22).
