1875-CC Twenty Dollar, MS62+
Smooth, Vibrant, and Lustrous Fields

1875-CC $20 MS62+ PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-B. The mintage was moderate -- just 111,151 pieces produced -- yet many 1875-CC twenties found a home in overseas holdings, and have since returned to increase the ranks of Mint State examples certified. The vast majority of Mint State coins exist at the MS62 grade or lower. This is an especially attractive and minimally abraded MS62, with lustrous orange-gold surfaces and sharply struck motifs. It offers an easily discernible lack of bagmarks that pepper most Carson City double eagles. Nor does it show any of the bank-to-bank handling and recounting marks typical of repatriated pieces. We note a few light grazes on Liberty's frosted portrait, and some minor areas of struck-in mint grease around star 13. PCGS has certified just 10 Plus-graded coins at the MS62 level, and 32 finer examples (4/20).(Registry values: N4719)
