Lot Description

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. The typical survivor is well worn and grades no finer than VF, indicative of heavy commercial use for this issue on the frontier. Offered is an above average Choice EF with strong originality and superior eye appeal at the assigned grade level. It is warmly toned in dusky rose and olive-gray with plenty of bold to sharp detail remaining throughout the design.
