1873-CC $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle AU-55 NGC

---

The year 1873 marked a notable chapter in American coinage, particularly at the Carson City Mint in Nevada. This facility struck only 22,410 of the Liberty Gold Double Eagle twenty-dollar coins that year, making surviving specimens highly sought after by those who appreciate the scarcity of early Western coinage. This specific coin has been certified in About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55) condition, preserving its historical character and the details of its nineteenth-century design. Struck from 0.900 fine gold, this massive coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. It features the iconic Liberty design on the obverse and bears the famous 'CC' mint mark on the reverse, a signature of its Nevada origin. Collectors and historians alike find these pieces fascinating because they represent the rugged era of the American West, where large-denomination gold coins were essential for daily commerce and banking.
