Liberty Double Eagles
1883-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 2-A. From a mintage of 59,962 pieces, the 1883-CC Liberty double eagle is one of the more available issues of the Carson City series. The 1883-CC was a well-made issue and its relative availability in high grade makes it a popular choice with branch mint type collectors. The present coin is an impressive MS61 example, with a better-than-average strike and pleasing orange-gold surfaces that show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade. Two small, raised die dots are evident, one to the right of the 3 in the date and the other touching the outer point of star 9. Much original mint luster remains intact and eye appeal is strong for the grade. Population: 72 in 61, 27 finer (9/17).
