***Auction Highlight*** 1876-cc Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62 By SEGS (fc)
***Auction Highlight*** 1876-cc Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded ms62 By SEGS. 1876-cc $20 Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle ms62 SEGS. A total of 10 die pairs were needed to strike 138,441 double eagles, seemingly a lot of dies for the mintage, but about normal for the Nevada Mint, which went through dies like pebbles through a sluice box. This example has a well-spaced mintmark, straddling N and T of TWENTY.A large portion of the 1876-CC mintage was shipped overseas to Europe or to South America. The coins were transported loose in bags, where they acquired many abrasions and marks from handling. Numerous technically Uncirculated pieces returned to U.S. hands, with the vast majority grading MS60 to MS62. Finer examples are rare. Partially reflective surfaces display a sharp strike on this example, and the bagmarks are not too severe or frequent. Rich-gold color has a faint greenish tinge, illuminated by bright mint luster. Tied for 2nd finest known. We have included another ms62 for your comparison 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
