1872-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Light yellow gold. Of the 19 double eagles struck at the Carson City Mint, the '72-CC is the sixth most difficult issue. An estimated 250 to 350 examples are known today (Bowers, 2004) out of the original mintage of 26,900 pieces. Most are in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine grades with an occasional About Uncirculated being quite elusive. This piece is well struck with small but noticeable portions of mint frost evident with the devices. Numerous small abrasions are scattered over each side, but the only ones of any note are within the space above the eagle (PCGS # 8964) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
