Liberty Double Eagles
1876-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1876-CC Liberty double eagle claims the largest mintage of the series, at 138,441 pieces. Surprisingly, the 1876-CC is not the most available CC-mint twenty in today's market, and the issue was virtually unobtainable in high grade before a hoard of several dozen examples surfaced in the mid-1990s. Like most Type Two double eagles, the 1876-CC is seen much more often in circulated grades than Mint State, but a number of Mint State examples exist, and they are quite popular with branch mint type collectors.
The present coin is an attractive MS61 specimen, with vivid orange-gold surfaces and vibrant mint luster throughout. The design elements are sharply detailed and the surfaces exhibit a scattering of minor contact marks on both sides. NGC has graded 62 numerically finer examples (10/16).
From The Renz Family Collection of $20 Gold Coins.
