1875-CC Liberty Gold Double Eagle ($20) OGH

The 1875-CC $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle represents a key issue from the Carson City Mint. While over 111,000 pieces were struck, very few survived in grades above XF. This coin circulated during the heyday of the Comstock Lode, when gold coins were essential to commerce in the American West.

This AU50 CAC example offers exceptional eye appeal for the grade. The surfaces retain significant mint luster in protected areas, and the strike is bold and complete. Light, even wear appears on the high points, while the fields show minimal marks for a coin that briefly circulated. The rich golden color and original surfaces earned this piece CAC approval, confirming its superior quality for the assigned grade.

Carson City Double Eagles from the 1870s are among the most sought-after coins in American numismatics. This example represents an excellent opportunity to own a high-grade survivor from this historic Western mint.
