1891-CC Double Eagle, AU58
Challenging Carson City Issue

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. A mintage of 5,000 coins makes the 1891-CC double eagle many times more challenging than either its half eagle or eagle counterparts, both of which are relatively accessible. By contrast, the 1891-CC is more obtainable than the rare 1891 double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint, of which only 1,390 coins were struck. Regardless, Rusty Goe's most recent estimate (2020) pegs the surviving population of 1891-CC twenty dollar gold pieces at around 300 coins, give or take.

Green and red-gold surfaces exhibit strong central design detail and a slightly softer impression on the stars and legends. The fields display surprisingly few major abrasions for a Western gold piece, and we note only the presence of a few darks specks of grease on and around Liberty's chin and neck. NGC reports 36 numerically higher grading events (7/21).(Registry values: N2998)
