1893-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63. The 1893 Carson City double eagle is the most available double eagle issue from that mint in uncirculated condition. It can be found with relative ease all the way up to the MS-62 grade but keep in mind that finding choice specimens can be a challenge. Many "sliders" end up in mint state holders and the quality conscious collector can find this frustrating. In Mint State 63, the 1893-CC becomes a serious condition rarity. Viewers of the present offering will agree that this specimen is correctly graded as MS63 and is many steps above "product" MS-61-62 coins. The surfaces are rich yellow gold, frosty and unabraded. Shimmering luster is found across Liberty's cheek and the feathers of the eagle. Anyone appreciating original gold will rejoice when observing the pristine nature of this specimen. No hairlines are found in the fields and the original skin of the coin in intact. While the 1893-CC may be a "type" candidate for a Type III Carson City double eagle, do not let that fool you into thinking that the present coin is anything other than rare! Population 17 with none higher by PCGS (PCGS # 9023) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 18,000.
