***Auction Highlight*** 1875-cc Twenty Cent Piece 20c Graded Select Unc By USCG. 0 Up for Auction is a scarce Carson City Twenty Cent Piece, the 1875-cc. This original Choice Uncirculated Carson City twenty-cent piece exhibits light toning and intense satin luster. Always in demand among better date type collectors and Carson City enthusiasts, the 1875-CC is the only readily collectible twenty-cent piece from this coinage facility (the 1876-CC is a legendary rarity with only 20 or so coins known). A scarce issue in its own right, the 1875-CC was produced to the extent of just 133,290 pieces. Of the Carson City mintage, approximately 2,000 undistributed examples were destroyed at that mint in 1877 when the federal government decided to suspend circulation strike twenty-cent piece production. The typical survivor is well worn and grades no finer than VF, indicative of heavy commercial use for this issue on the frontier. Mint State survivors are scarce, and with few Gems known, this beautiful Choice example is sure to appeal to astute bidders. I have included a PCGS graded ms63 example to illustrate the notorious weakness in the eagles wing during striking. Ms63 trends $3250 ms64 trends $4750
