Description

1893-CC Liberty Head Twenty, MS62+
Low-Mintage Issue
Last Year for the Carson City Mint

1893-CC $20 MS62+ NGC. Variety 2-A. Despite an influx in the 1960s of many Uncirculated 1893-CC twenties, the issue remains conditionally rare in grades finer than MS62. This example -- with the important NGC Plus designation -- rides the cusp of a higher grade without the substantial premium of a Select Uncirculated coin. Only light, shallow abrasions appear on the frosted obverse fields and devices. Perhaps a single small scrape beneath the eagle's left (facing) wing determined the assigned grade.

A bold strike appears on Liberty and the surrounding stars. The reverse strike is full, too, including the arrow fletchings. Attractive light-yellow gold surfaces are fully lustrous and pleasing. This final-year Carson City issue is a prime target of type and Carson City collectors, as well as date and mintmark specialists.
