1875-CC $20 Liberty. ANACS graded MS-60. Frosty and "baggy". Still fully mint state. This Type 2 Carson City Mint $20 gold coin, while not in the top ranks for Condition Census status, all the same does justice to its birthright in being conditionally difficult, and it is one of the frostiest MS60 example we've had the pleasure to offer. The grade label is well justified, as the surfaces are booming with luster for both the issue and the numeric grade (which if nothing else tends toward dull luster). The obverse and the reverse are equally touched by small bagmarks and surface contact with other coins in the bag. The devices tend to be better struck than average, although due to limitations in the relief found on the Type 2 design, none can be said to have the crisp sharp detail of a later, Type 3 twenty. The collector or investor who wished to own an historic gold piece in Mint condition struck at this storied Western mint would be wise to acquire this 1875-CC (PCGS # 8974) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,700.
