Lot 1797
1883-CC $20 Liberty. AU-50. Broken out of a PCGS holder where this coin was graded AU 50. Satiny luster and well struck by the dies. Clean fields and devices for the grade and Mint, which often comes abraded. An excellent choice for the date collector who demands quality surfaces.
This is the curious "dot" variety, with a small raised mark just right of the middle of the 3 in the date, similar to 1884 silver dollars where there is a small raised dot near the "M" of Morgan. As noted in Breen, the purpose of this dot is unknown, but is some kind of marker, perhaps by the engraver or coiner to sign their work.
