1883-CC $20 Liberty CACG MS60

The 1883-CC $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a remarkable gold coin with roots deep in the heart of the American West. Struck at the legendary Carson City Mint during an era of active gold production and frontier expansion, this Mint State example is certified MS60 by CACG. It offers collectors and investors an attractive blend of scarcity, historical context, and solid intrinsic value.

With a low original mintage of just 59,962 pieces, the 1883-CC issue stands out among Liberty Head double eagles for its limited production and rugged background. The Carson City Mint was established to serve the booming mining industry in Nevada and surrounding territories. Today, coins bearing the “CC” mintmark are revered for their connection to the era of stagecoaches, prospectors, and the growth of the American West.

Designed by James B. Longacre, the Liberty Head motif presents a left-facing Liberty on the obverse, encircled by stars and framed by the date below. The reverse features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its chest and a pair of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. The bold “CC” mintmark beneath the eagle adds a layer of appeal that few U.S. coins can match.
