Description

1891-CC Twenty Dollar, AU58
Substantial Remaining Mint Frost

1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. There are only 464 problem-free grading events reported between NGC and PCGS for the 1891-CC double eagle, and that figure no doubt includes resubmissions and crossovers. In fact, it is more likely that about 300 examples of this Carson City double eagle issue survive from a small original mintage of 5,000 pieces.

This borderline-Uncirculated Coronet twenty displays substantial remaining mint frost over warm golden-orange surfaces. Strike detail is a bit uneven with softness noted on the middle curls and a few of the stars. However, the coin is virtually unworn. The NGC Census shows 36 numerically finer submissions (9/22).
