<B>1872-CC $20 AU55 NGC.</B></I> The Carson City Mint struck 26,900 double eagles in 1872. Douglas Winter (2001) estimates that 350 to 400 examples have survived to the present day, with the majority falling into the Very Fine and Extremely Fine grade range. Two to three Mint State coins are thought to exist. While NGC and PCGS have certified about 600 pieces, many of these are probably resubmissions.<BR> This Choice AU specimen displays honey-gold surfaces that retain luster in the recessed areas. The design elements are generally well impressed, except for minor softness in portions of Liberty's hair. As is the case with almost every known 1872-CC twenty, a number of contact marks are scattered about, a bit more so on the obverse.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
