Liberty Double Eagles
1874-CC $20 AU58 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-A. A relatively large production of 115,085 Liberty double eagles was accomplished at the Carson City Mint in 1874, the second-highest mintage of the series. As might be expected, the 1874-CC is one of the more available Carson City twenties and it is a popular choice of branch mint type collectors. However, like most Type Two double eagles, the 1874-CC is a challenge to find in high grade.
This impressive near-Mint specimen shows just a trace of wear on the well-detailed design elements and the strike is better-than-average for the issue. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded and retain significant amounts of original mint luster. The overall presentation is most attractive. NGC has graded 16 numerically finer examples (7/17).
