Liberty Double Eagles
1878-CC $20 XF40 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Double eagle coinage at the Carson City Mint declined in 1878 to only 13,180 pieces. The date is scarcer than the previous few CC-mint issues, and high-grade coins are particularly elusive. In XF, the 1878-CC is about as scarce as the 1877-CC is in AU. Uncirculated examples of this date are rare. The present coin displays bright yellow-gold patina and partially lustrous fields. Light chatter over each side is consistent with the grade.
From The R. Thayer Sheets Yorktown Collection.
