Liberty Double Eagles
1893-CC $20 MS62 NGC. Variety 2-A. From a deceptively small mintage of 18,402 pieces, the 1893-CC Liberty double eagle is actually one of the more available Type Three issues from the charismatic Carson City Mint. Its relative availability in high grade and its status as the final Carson City twenty makes it a popular choice with branch mint type collectors.
The coin offered here is an impressive MS62 specimen that exhibits sharp definition on most of the design elements, with just a touch of softness on the coronet. The vivid orange-gold surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster on both sides and show only minor, scattered contact marks. A faint die crack is visible through TAT of STATES. NGC has graded 21 numerically finer examples (6/17).
