1892-CC Twenty, MS62
Bright and Semiprooflike

1892-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. By the time that this double eagle issue was produced, it was clear that the raison d'être for the Carson City Mint--the abundance of gold and silver from the nearby Comstock Lode--was playing out. From 1870 through 1893, the Nevada mint's final year, it nonetheless managed to produce a total of 864,000+ double eagles, about one-sixth of Philadelphia's output of slightly more than 5 million pieces during the same period, according to Rusty Goe in The Mint on Carson Street.
The fields on this MS62 example are bright and semiprooflike, with rich reddish-gold color prevailing. The strike is sharp overall. Light abrasions appear in the fields consistent with the grade, but there are no singular marks.(Registry values: N4719)
