<B>1885-CC $20 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> Though not the least available double eagle issue struck in 1885 (the Philadelphia issue, with its infamously low mintage of 751 pieces, holds that title), the 1885-CC twenty presents its own challenges. Garrett and Guth (2006) describe it as "one of the rarest Carson City double eagles struck in the 1880s."<BR> This strongly lustrous, slightly hazy sun-gold piece has an unusually attractive appearance for the grade. Though wispy abrasions affect the fields and the pleasingly detailed devices, the surfaces show none of the heavy and distracting bagmarks that so often affect high-end examples of the issue. A lovely twenty that merits careful consideration. Population: 12 in 61, 13 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
