***Auction Highlight*** 1891-cc Gold Liberty Double
***Auction Highlight*** 1891-cc Near Top POP! Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62+ By SEGS. With just 5,000 pieces struck, the 1891-CC is a bonafide rarity among Carson City twenties and the long-running Liberty Head double eagles alike. Mint State examples are rare even within the low Uncirculated levels. The finest 1891-CC tops out at MS63. The issue is only slightly more available at MS61, with just a dozen pieces known and five finer pieces.This is a virtually unabraded, sharply struck MS62+, 2nd finest known example, with frosted, yet slightly muted mint luster and light-orange coloration. Liberty's hair strands are individually defined, and the star centers are all sharp. The virtually unabraded surfaces are more in line with an ms63-ms64 level, and I can only surmise the slightly muted mint luster is the reason for the coin not attaining a higher grade. Only the famous 1870-CC double eagle has a lower mintage (3,789 pieces struck) than the 1891-CC in the entire Carson City twenty dollar series. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
