Lot 2358
1872-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-40. Only 26,900 minted of which merely 402 pieces are estimated to have survived. Medium and somewhat subdued traces of luster with fewer than the usual contact marks for the grade, over yellow gold surfaces. Above average strike. A classic-looking specimen. Only a handful of equivalent examples exist anywhere, and within the parameters of PCGS grading. Only two or three have any claim to the lower ranges of Mint State.
On this year's coinage, the date logotype is deeply punched into the die and is ever so slightly closer to the dentil than to the neck truncation. On the reverse the CC mint letters are above the right upright of N (TWENTY) as illustrated (PCGS # 8964) .
Estimated Value $3,600 - 3,800.
