<Our item number 114247><B>1893-CC &#36;20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61.</B> Only 18,402 coins minted. Natural golden toning on both sides, there is a small mark on Liberty&#39;s throat area, another on the cheek, and a few luster &#34;grazes&#34; in the frost of the open field. The 1893-CC is the swan song issue of the Carson City Mint. The government &#40;under the second Cleveland administration&#41; had reached a point where the expense charts sloped sharply upward, and so decided to trim the budget. Carson was on the front line of this budget-cutting. All the same, this mint&#39;s double eagle coinage circulated extensively in the West and also was used in the export trade, probably mostly the latter. Today, Mint State coins are only occasionally found &#40;though not considered rare, per se&#41;. Most pieces are very attractive to collectors. The low mintage of 1893-CC has always made this a popular issue. <B> Pop 112; 114 finer, 94 in 62, 19 in 63, 1 in 64</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 9023&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated V alue &#36;4,500-5,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 114247<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114247.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/114247N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
