Scarce 1891-CC Double Eagle, AU58

1891-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. This is a scarce Carson City double eagle issue that has a low mintage of just 5,000 coins. Only the 1870-CC had an even lower production, at 3,789 pieces, among all CC-mint twenties. According to Garrett and Guth: "Although the mintage is very low, an unknown number of coins was shipped overseas. In recent years small groups of the date have surfaced from time to time." This near-Mint representative retains nearly full mint luster and appears to be Uncirculated, at first glance. Just a trace amount of wear is detected on some of Liberty's hair detail with the aid of a magnifier. Boldly struck with a rich frosty sheen and few marks on either side. Population: 20 in 58, 16 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)
