Liberty Double Eagles
1892-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1892-CC Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 27,265 pieces, a small production total in absolute terms, but not extremely small in the context of the series. In fact, because of its presence in some hoards that surfaced in the mid-to-late 1990s, the 1892-CC is one of the more available issues of the series, and a popular choice with branch mint type collectors. The present coin is an impressive Mint State specimen, with sharply detailed central design elements, but just a touch of softness on the left obverse stars. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly marked for the grade, with vibrant mint luster mixed with traces of prooflike reflectivity in sheltered areas. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 54 in 61, 55 finer (10/16).
