Liberty Double Eagles
1893-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The final Carson City double eagle is a challenging issue in high grade, although not as much as it once was. Several quantities of the date have turned up from foreign hoards, making the date more collectible than it otherwise would be with a mintage of only 18,402 coins. Even so, near-Mint examples are elusive with smooth, attractive surfaces. The current coin is a scarce exception with original olive-gold patina that has no major abrasions. The design elements are sharp, and the fields are thoroughly lustrous when rotated beneath a light. A finer example will be difficult to locate below the Mint State level.
