Description

1893-CC Double Eagle, MS63
Final Carson City Twenty

1893-CC $20 MS63 NGC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Sierra Biker. This is the final double eagle from the Carson City Mint, and it is also one of the more common of the Carson City issues. Most of the Mint State examples grade between MS60 and MS62, making this a relatively scarce coin in MS63. The 1893-CC is also one of the best produced issues from the Carson City Mint, according to experts Michael Fuljenz and Doug Winter. This piece certainly supports that statement. The yellow-gold surfaces are bright and highly lustrous, with bold striking details. There are an average number of coin-to-coin marks, for the assigned grade. This coin should find a home in the finest collection or Registry Set. Census: 19 in 63 (1 in 63+), 1 finer (6/21).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 3192.
