Liberty Double Eagles
1890-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1890-CC Liberty double eagle claims a substantial mintage of 91,209 pieces. As might be expected, the issue is the most available Type Three double eagle from the Carson City Mint and an overwhelming favorite with branch mint type collectors. This attractive Mint State example exhibits strongly impressed design elements, but the reverse shows some missing detail in the eagle's tail, due to lapping. Earlier die states show strong doubling on the reverse, but the doubling is much less evident on this late die state. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are appropriately marked for the grade and vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides. PCGS has graded 76 numerically finer examples (5/17).
