Liberty Double Eagles
1874-CC $20 AU58+ NGC. Variety 1-A. Double eagle production really hit its stride in 1874 at the Carson City Mint, when a substantial mintage of 115,085 pieces was accomplished. The coins were released into circulation and used to settle large accounts in both foreign and domestic trade. The 1874-CC is one of the more available Carson City twenties in today's market, and a popular choice with branch mint type collectors, but Mint State specimens are elusive.
The present coin exhibits just a trace of wear on the well-detailed design elements. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces retain much of their original mint luster and show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. NGC has graded 17 numerically finer examples (9/17).
