Description

1893-CC Double Eagle, MS62
Attractive, Final-Year Carson City Issue

1893-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. A low-mintage issue with just 18,402 pieces made, the 1893-CC twenty is best known as the final double eagle date struck at the Carson City Mint. Most of the production went overseas, and few coins circulated domestically. As a result, the issue is found more often in Mint State than in circulated grades, because many of the exported twenties have since found their way back into the United States.

A notable lack of abrasions suggests the current coin may never have left U.S. shores. The most obvious mark is a short, shallow scrape between stars 2 and 3. Attractive, orange-gold surfaces are frosted and beam flashy mint luster. Scarce but not rare, the MS62 grade is the last available level before the issue becomes challenging and expensive.(Registry values: N2998)
