<B>1875-CC $20 MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The mintage of 111,151 pieces for the issue makes it appear "common" compared to earlier CC-mint issues, and the 1875-CC is quite well produced, on the whole. Rusty Goe's useful <I>The Mint on Carson Street </B></I>makes an interesting comparison: "... although the estimated extant populations of these mid-1870s 'CC' double eagles are much higher than others in the series, it does not mean that they are common coins. For example, another 'CC' issue, the 1879-CC silver dollar is considered a key date in Uncirculated condition, even though 4,100 Mint State pieces were distributed in the GSA sales. In comparison, estimates for the extant population of Uncirculated 1875-CC double eagles [are one-sixth] that amount."<BR> Lovely orange-gold surfaces are well struck, and show remarkably few abrasions for the grade level. A few of the obverse stars are somewhat softly struck, but the overall appeal is high.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
