Liberty Double Eagles
1883-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The 1883-CC is elusive in Mint State, and its availability seems even more limited in the face of strong collector demand. Equally popular with series collectors, Carson City specialists, and type enthusiasts, the issue also draws attention for its above-average sharpness and eye appeal.
This original example displays a medium green-gold hue and deep-gray overtones that confirm the natural surfaces. The frosted fields and devices show bright cartwheel luster and lightly abraded exposed areas. The strike is sharp on the star centers, Liberty's hair bun and curls, and throughout the reverse motifs. PCGS reports just 27 finer coins (10/17).
