<B>1872-CC $20 MS60 NGC.</B></I> Carson City double eagles coined in the early 1870s are extremely rare in full Mint State grades. NGC has only certified 10 such pieces, and PCGS has graded just two in MS60 with none finer.<BR> In 2001, Doug Winter wrote: "The 1872-CC is a reasonably scarce issue in all grades, although it is sometimes available in Extremely Fine. About Uncirculated coins are not easily located and most examples in this grade range are no better than marginal About Uncirculated-50 quality. ... Uncirculated 1872-CC double eagles are extremely rare with just two or three currently known."<BR> This brilliant yellow-gold piece is sharply defined with excellent surfaces for the grade. The usual scattered marks on each side are kept to a minimum. Census: 4 in 60, 6 finer (1/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
