Liberty Double Eagles
1876-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 3-D, Wide CC mintmark. Widely viewed as a common date within the Carson City short set, the 1876-CC double eagle is conditionally scarce in Mint State. This example has scattered abrasions, as the grade suggests, but its stands apart from many of its peers by not showing any obvious signs of high-point friction, which is a common complaint on many Carson City double eagles in this grade. The strike is bold, and each side offers original, frosty mint luster with a radiant cartwheel effect. A hint of olive-gold patina accompanies the more significant abrasions. Finer examples of the 1876-CC twenty are out of reach for most collectors.
