<B>1871-CC $20 XF45 NGC.</B></I> Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, in their book <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. gold Coins, 1795-1933,</B></I> write that: "By a large margin, the 1871-CC double eagle is the second rarest Carson City issue. The mintage is small (17,387 pieces), and most of the production was destined for circulation in Nevada and the surrounding areas....most of the coins found of this issue are well worn and heavily bagmarked."<BR> This Choice XF example exhibits semi-bright honey-gold surfaces with scattered whispers of reddish-gold. The design elements retain sharp detail, and traces of luster can be seen clinging to the protected areas. A few expected marks are scattered about, but none are really detractive.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
