AU Sharpness 1891-CC Twenty

1891-CC $20 --Harshly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. Only 5,000 double eagles were struck at Carson City in 1891, an unusually low mintage given that the 1891-CC half eagle and eagle are the most plentiful CC-mint issues of their respective series. The present twenty dollar piece has thickly hairlined and subdued tan-gold surfaces, but there is little if any circulation wear.(Registry values: N2998)
