Liberty Double Eagles
1882-CC $20 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. No double eagles were struck at the Carson City Mint in 1880 and 1881, and only 39,140 examples were struck in 1882. Still, the 1882-CC is one of the more available issues of the series and a favorite choice of branch mint type collectors seeking an example of the Type Three design. The 1882-CC becomes somewhat scarce at the AU58 grade level and Mint State examples are very scarce.
The present coin is an impressive near-Mint specimen, with sharply detailed design elements that show just a trace of wear on the high points. A diagnostic vertical spike is evident in front of Liberty's eye. The pleasing green and orange-gold surfaces exhibit a number of minor abrasions but none that are overly large or distracting. Considerable amounts of original mint luster remain intact.
From The Reno Cache.
