Select Mint State 1893-CC Double Eagle

1893-CC $20 MS63 NGC. The 1893-CC double eagle represents the final year of coinage production at the Carson City Mint, and it is often the date of choice to represent the Type Three design in type collections. Just 18,402 pieces were coined in 1893, and few have survived in Mint State. NGC and PCGS have each certified nearly 20 examples at the Select Mint State grade level, but only one piece has been given a higher numerical grade (an NGC coin certified at MS64). The surfaces have satiny honey-gold luster with splashes of pale rose toning. Census: 19 in 63, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
