Select 1892-CC Twenty
Very Rare in MS63

1892-CC $20 MS63 NGC. Variety 1-A. Because of its mintage of 27,265 pieces, and its presence in modern hoards, the 1892-CC Liberty Head double eagle is an available date in the context of the Carson City series. Experts believe 800-900 examples survive in all grades, with a Mint State population of 70-80 pieces. Most Mint State examples are in lower Uncirculated grades, and Select specimens are very rare. At the MS63 level, NGC has certified five coins, with none finer; while PCGS has also graded five examples in Select condition, with none finer (3/10).
The present coin features reflective, almost prooflike fields, with rich,orange-gold color. The striking details are full, except for some weakness on a few obverse star radials. A few light scuffs on the bust and the left obverse field explain the grade.(Registry values: N7079)
