Lot 1632
1892-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. A pleasing example for the grade with no major problems. In the Carson City Mint's penultimate season, it was abundantly clear that miners on the Comstock were beginning to scrape bottom in their search for more gold ore deposits. However, in 1892 there was sufficient gold on hand to manage another respectable year of coinage. Much of the Treasury's gold was exported in those days, though the Carson Mint's 1892 output of gold coins was only 3% of the total exported from the U.S. that year, Treasury officials would take as much as they could get from whatever source could supply it (PCGS # 9020) .
Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.
