Liberty Double Eagles
1883-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-B, the rare die pairing with the mintmark further left and heavy die lines in the recesses of the shield. Overall, most Uncirculated 1883-CC double eagles are clustered in MS60 and MS61, with finer pieces rare. Demand for Carson City twenties in Mint State is significantly higher than for San Francisco and Philadelphia issues from this period due to the strong collector following for gold pieces with the CC mintmark. The 1883-CC boasts a moderately significant mintage of 59,962 pieces, although circulation in Western regions and trade exports heavily stunted the number of high-grade coins that would survive to modern day for collectors.
Among Mint State coins, the present example is quite appealing, especially compared to its peers in MS61. The strike is sharp, and bright yellow-gold surfaces offer radiant cartwheel luster that shows only light chatter -- no major abrasions distract the eye. Population: 64 in 61, 23 finer (11/16).
From The Renz Family Collection of $20 Gold Coins.
