<B>1879-CC $20 AU55 PCGS.</B></I> It is believed that a single set of dies were employed to produce 10,708 1879-CC double eagles. That scant mintage of coins accounts for the fact that this issue is the second scarcest of the Type 3 Carson City twenties. Orange-gold coloration and well struck details are the prominent qualities of this piece. The reverse luster is nearly unbroken and one would think this was an Uncirculated coin if only viewing that side. Slight semiprooflikeness on the obverse exaggerates some minor scuffing in the fields, thus perhaps limiting the certified grade. Overall, this specimen is better than average for the issue. Population: 16 in 55, 28 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
