1875-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. Load with frosty mint luster. All Carson City double eagles are elusive in Mint State, especially when compared to the number of dedicated gold collectors in today's hobby. That said, the 1875-CC is, after the 1890-CC, the most readily available CC-mint $20 in circulated grades. Best of all, it is one of the better made Type 2 pieces, the present coin being well struck overall with the only soft detail confined to the obverse stars and some of the hair curls above the ear on Liberty's portrait. Rich orange-gold color and frosty textured luster predominate. Moderately abraded, as befits the MS61 grade (PCGS # 8974) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 3,000.
