1893-CC LIBERTY HEAD $20 MS63

VERY CHOICE LUSTROUS SURFACES WITH A GLOWING ORANGE PEEL PATINA. JUST A SINGLE MS63+ GRADED HIGHER AT PCGS. A historically significant issue, the 1893-CC is extremely popular with both collectors and investors as the final Double Eagle struck in the Carson City Mint. Although only 18,402 examples were struck, survivors are seen quite often in today's market. We believe that a decent number of coins remained stateside and, thus, avoided being melted overseas. To say that the 1893-CC is a common coin in an absolute sense, however, would be doing the issue a great injustice. It is rarer than the 1874-CC, 1875-CC, 1876-CC, 1882-CC, 1883-CC, 1884-CC, 1890-CC and 1892-CC. And although most survivors grade AU-50 or finer, the 1893-CC is still more elusive than the 1875-CC, 1876-CC and 1890-CC in high grades.
