Liberty Double Eagles
1893-CC $20 MS62 PCGS. Variety 2-A. Radiant cartwheel luster characterizes this undeniably Mint State 1893-CC double eagle. The strike is sharp, and a few small coppery alloy spots on the obverse portrait attest to the originality of the surfaces. Scattered abrasions on the obverse limit the grade, although none are individually bothersome. In fact, eye appeal exceeds expectations for the MS62 level. The 1893-CC is the final Carson City issue of this denomination, and attractive Uncirculated examples are in high demand. PCGS reports 23 representatives that are numerically finer than the present (2/17), although even in MS62 the 1893-CC is a scarce issue.
