Liberty Double Eagles
1892-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. "It is scarce and underrated in all uncirculated grades..." -- Thus states Mike Fuljenz in Type Three Double Eagles, second edition. We have seen only limited numbers of Mint State 1892-CC double eagles with most in MS60 or MS61. The date is scarce in these lowest Uncirculated grades, but it is more accessible in these and collectible by some budget-conscious enthusiasts. Collectors need only select for quality and eye appeal.
The present coin is indeed eye-appealing for the grade, showing semireflective fields and original wheat-gold luster with remarkably few abrasions. Light handling marks on Liberty's cheek are all that limit the numeric designation. Population: 61 in 61, 58 finer (4/17).
