1893-CC Double Eagle
Seldom Seen in MS63

1893-CC $20 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Minimally abraded and attractive, this CAC-Approved, Select Uncirculated twenty is tied for finest-certified at PCGS and it is an excellent representative of the final Carson City issue. Our archives show it has been nearly three years since we last offered an example in this high grade.

Care was taken at the Carson City Mint with these final-year twenties. The strike is bold and there are no heavy marks on the coin. Many were sent abroad amid financial panic in 1893, but this example in none the worse for it (that is, if the coin ever left U.S. shores at all). Gleaming rich-gold patina shows a few orange highlights with strong cartwheel luster befitting the assigned grade. Population: 21 in 63, 0 finer (6/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26C9, PCGS# 9023, Greysheet# 9953)

Weight: 33.44 grams
