Lot 3429
1872-CC $20 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. Intensely lustrous, frosty and bright, enough in fact to qualify as strictly Mint State in the opinion of many we suspect. We do note several moderate marks in the unprotected areas which probably influenced the graders at PCGS. Nonetheless, a very high grade example that ranks high within the condition consus for the date. The 1872-CC is a scarce CC date in the Liberty $20 series with an original mintage of only 26,900 pieces. It is slightly more available than the 1870-CC and 1871-CC, yet is unquestionably one of the keys to the CC-mint group. Very few Mint States have been certified. Due to market pressures, these tend to be out of reach of all but the most resolute buyers. Pop 27; 2 finer in 60 (PCGS # 8964) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000.
