Lot 2555
1872-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Pop 40; 88 finer. A lustrous lightly toned gold example of this rarity from the early days of the Carson City Mint. The surfaces are free of most marks, and the eye appeal is well within the parameters expected for the grade. Of the 26,900 double eagles produced this year, very few remain in the About Uncirculated range, and in Mint State the date is a great rarity. The Winter reference on the Carson City Mint suggests that perhaps 175 to 200 exist in all grades, and notes that the date is: "Common in VF and can easily be located in EF. Lower-end AU coins are scarce but can be found with some patience." An opportunity for the double eagle specialist and Carson City Mint enthusiast alike (PCGS # 8964) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
