Liberty Double Eagles
1893-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Only 18,402 Liberty double eagles were struck at the Carson City Mint in 1893, during the final year of coinage operations at that famous facility. Fortunately, the 1893-CC is more available today than its tiny production total would suggest. Many coins were used to settle accounts in international trade, and a surprising number of specimens have been repatriated from Latin America and Europe in recent years.
The present coin exhibits well-detailed design elements and vibrant mint luster on both sides. A die crack shows through the letters in STATES on the reverse and the B in JBL is positioned over the right side of the 8 in the date, identifying the Variety 2-A. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. Housed in an old green label holder.
