Lot Description

Solid AU quality with uncommon originality in a Carson City Mint double eagle that saw actual commercial use. Circulation was brief here, of course, and has resulted in wispy handling marks and light wear that do no more than define the AU-53 grade assigned by PCGS. Color is a rich, handsome blend of honey-olive and orange-gold, the surfaces further enhanced by appreciable mint luster. With bold to sharp detail overall and freedom from individually distracting marks, premium bids are certainly in order for this premium quality 1890-CC $20.
