Description

1891-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Only 5,000 Coins Struck

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. One set of dies was required in the production of 5,000 double eagles at the Carson City Mint in 1891. That mintage represents a 94.5% decline in twenty dollar output from the previous year (91,209 coins). Only 265 to 325 examples are believed to survive in all grades, and probably only two or three dozen would qualify as finer than this near-Mint offering. Strike definition is uniformly sharp. Orange-gold surfaces remain surprisingly frosty and lustrous with rose and copper accents over each side. A single dark spot occurs on the final S in STATES.(Registry values: N2998)
