1893-CC Twenty, MS62+
Bright Yellow-Gold Surfaces, CAC

1893-CC $20 MS62+ PCGS. CAC. The 1893-CC twenty has a couple of factors working in its favor. It has a remarkably low mintage of only 18,402 pieces, and most of the mintage was shipped to Europe and held there for many years, giving collectors Uncirculated coins when they were repatriated. One of the problems with this issue are alloy spots, appearing on many of the Uncirculated pieces. This example lacks that particular problem -- rather, the surfaces are a bright, even yellow-gold color. The mint luster is bright and frosted, and the abrasions present are small, widely scattered, and individually inoffensive. These factors undoubtedly explain the Plus designation. This is an exceptional Carson City type coin from the final year of the Nevada Mint's coinage operations. Population: 9 in 62+, 29 finer. CAC: 24 in 62, 3 finer (10/24).
