Liberty Double Eagles
1893-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. A small mintage of 18,402 Liberty double eagles was accomplished at the Carson City Mint in 1893, the last year of coinage operations at the famous Western facility. Fortunately, the 1893-CC is much easier to locate than this small production total suggests, and the issue is surprisingly available in Mint State. Accordingly, the 1893-CC is a popular choice of branch mint type collectors seeking an example of the Type Three design.
The present coin is an attractive MS61 example, with sharply detailed design elements and vivid orange-gold surfaces that show a few hints of crimson and the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. Vibrant mint luster adds to the considerable visual appeal.
