Lot 1783
1875-CC $20 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Lightly toned, The brief use of the Type 2 design lasted from 1866 until 1876. This is a pleasing representative from the Carson Mint in Nevada. The mint struck quantities of gold and silver coins from locally mined bullion, although because Carson City was in competition with San Francisco Mint -- a more politically connected mint -- depositors were lured into sending much of their mine supply to San Francisco instead. Compare mintage figures for the years 1870 to 1893, the years that Carson was in operation (PCGS # 8974) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.
