Liberty Double Eagles
1884-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1884-CC Liberty double eagle claims a mintage of 81,139 pieces, which would seem small in most other series, but is actually fairly generous for a Carson City twenty. The coins were released into circulation and few were saved, as there was little numismatic interest in double eagles in general and branch mint issues in particular. As a result, the 1884-CC is an available issue in circulated grades, and lower Mint State pieces are eagerly sought by branch mint type collectors.
The coin offered here is an impressive MS61 specimen, with well-detailed design elements and lustrous orange-gold surfaces that show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. The overall presentation is quite attractive. PCGS has graded 78 numerically finer examples (5/17).
