Liberty Double Eagles
1884-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 1-A. A pleasing pale-green hue adds interest to the butter-gold surfaces of this in-demand Carson City Type Three twenty. Only light abrasions dot the fields and devices, which radiate frosty luster from both sides. Liberty's portrait is well-struck as usual for the 1884-CC, as are the reverse motifs with the exception of the eagle's claws, which lack full details.
As one of the few Carson City double eagles that are somewhat available in Mint State, the 1884-CC is a demand rarity as well as a conditionally scarce issue. Only a few coins qualify for the MS62 grade and finer pieces are very rare. We expect considerable interest when this sharp example is called. Census: 51 in 62, 6 finer (11/16).
From The Renz Family Collection of $20 Gold Coins.
