<B>1873-CC $20 AU55 PCGS.</B></I> Doug Winter, in his definitive reference on the subject, <I>Gold Coins of the Carson City Mint</B></I>, states that the "quality of luster seen on the 1873-CC double eagle is not as good as on the other dates of this era. It tends to have a 'washed out' appearance, even on those that have not been cleaned or dipped. Some do have appealing rich, satiny luster and these generally command a premium." The coin in this lot is in the later category, displaying much more cartwheel luster than is usually seen on the issue. Abrasions, characteristic of Carson City twenties, are observed on this specimen, but considering the outstanding luster and overall eye appeal, we can safely say that the assigned grade is conservative. A premium coin that is sure to elicit active bidding.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
