Liberty Double Eagles
1875-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 8-A. The 1875-CC is an available date among Carson City double eagles, although it does present a challenge to locate in Mint State with decent eye appeal. Most Uncirculated coins grade MS62 or lower with heavy abrasions. Finer pieces are rare. This MS62 coin strikes a balance. It is indeed appropriately graded, although the grade-limiting abrasions are somewhat lighter and less obtrusive than they are on most other examples of the same numeric level. There is no high-point friction, and the surfaces are radiantly lustrous. Original wheat-gold coloration offers warm eye appeal. NGC reports only 26 finer grading events (3/17).
