Liberty Double Eagles
1882-CC $20 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1-B. A lengthy vertical spike on Liberty's nose in front of the eye is common to both known die marriages, leaving identification of the variety to the slope and position of the mintmark. Variety 1-A is scarce and shows a down-sloping mintmark. Variety 1-B is the usual reverse, with the mintmark on an upward tilt. This 1-B example displays natural orange-gold color with rose overtones. A few deep freckles at the front of the coronet are noted.
