Liberty Double Eagles
1889-CC $20 AU53 NGC. Variety 1-A. Although struck to the limited extent of only 30,945 pieces, the 1889-CC double eagle is collectible in AU condition due to a number of coins surviving via overseas hoards. Mint State examples are yet scarce. This piece displays traditional yellow-gold patina and semiprooflike fields. The sharp design elements show little evidence of wear, and the surfaces are generally smooth.
