Liberty Double Eagles
1892-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 1-A. From a mintage of 27,265 pieces, the 1892-CC Liberty double eagle is a surprisingly available issue, with a surviving population of 800-900 examples in all grades. A number of specimens surfaced in several small hoards in the late 1990's, augmenting the previously meager supply. The 1892-CC is seen most often in the XF-AU grade range and Mint State examples are scarce.
The present coin is an impressive MS61 specimen, with sharply detailed design elements on both sides. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces show a few highlights of green, with a mix of vibrant mint luster and some prooflike reflectivity in sheltered areas. The expected number of grade-consistent, minor contact marks are evident and eye appeal is strong for the grade. Census: 85 in 61 (1 in 61★), 47 finer (2/17).
