1876-CC $20 MS61 认证号25253115, PCGS号8977

Frosty Western Gold Piece 1876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. Variety 3-A. Die attribution markers include the 1 in the date over a dentil, the 7 centered over the space between dentils, and the right edge of the second C in the mintmark aligned with the left edge of the second T in TWENTY. The 1876-CC double eagle is a plentiful Type Two Carson City issue, the last of this design. Bright mint frost shines from surfaces that show superficial grazes and small abrasions, with yellow-gold color throughout. Most design elements are sharp, the forecurls and reverse stars being a couple of exceptions. Considerably finer than the typical AU survivor. From The "So Cal" Collection. (Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 26AW, PCGS# 8977)

The mintage of the 1876-CC is a bit higher than the mintage of the 1875-CC but the 1876-CC is a slightly rarer date. In uncirculated condition it is much more rare than the 1875-CC but not as rare as the underrated 1874-CC. The 1876-CC is also more rare in Unc. than the 1883-CC, 1884-CC, 1889-CC, 1890-CC, 1892-CC and 1893-CC. As a date, the 1876-CC is relatively available in VF, EF, or AU condition. Average quality uncs are scarce but do appear from time to time. In choice Unc., the 1876-CC is very scarce and in gem condition it is rare, but certainly not unknown.
