Liberty Double Eagles
1891-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1891-CC boasts the second-lowest mintage of the Carson City series at 5,000 pieces. It is collectible today due to a number of coins returning from overseas bank vaults, although the low production total makes it inherently scarce in high grade. Uncirculated coins are rare and are almost unknown above MS62. This near-Mint example is comparable to the piece in the Smithsonian Institution -- a scarce high-end AU coin with much luster remaining in the fields but showing a trace of high-point friction on the devices. The coin is well-struck, and the only mentionable abrasions are a few marks on Liberty's cheek. The CAC green label is an endorsement that is rarely seen on high-grade examples of the 1891-CC double eagle. Housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 77 in 58 (1 in 58+, 1 in 58 ★), 37 finer. CAC: 8 in 58, 4 finer (3/17).
