The 1893-CC $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a historic final-year issue from the Carson City Mint and is highly sought after by collectors of Western U.S. gold. This example, certified Mint State 61 by CACG, is a rare uncirculated survivor from a famously low mintage and offers both historic and numismatic significance.
Struck during the final year of operations at the Carson City Mint, the 1893-CC has a total mintage of just 18,402 pieces. Most were placed directly into circulation and saw extensive use throughout the Western frontier. As a result, very few have survived in Mint State condition, and any certified uncirculated example is considered a prize by collectors of Liberty Head Double Eagles and Carson City coinage.
This coin displays strong detail with original golden surfaces and frosty luster. Liberty’s profile remains bold, with full definition in the hair and coronet, and the reverse eagle shows sharp feathers and a well-defined shield. The surfaces show scattered contact marks consistent with the MS61 grade, but the overall presentation is natural and appealing. CAC Grading's certification provides additional confidence in the quality of this coin, as CACG is known for its strict and consistent grading standards.
The Carson City Mint produced gold coins for only a short period in U.S. history, yet it left an enduring legacy. Coins with the CC mintmark are among the most popular in American numismatics due to their low mintages and strong connection to the Old West. The 1893-CC is especially significant as the final Carson City Double Eagle and is often considered essential for collectors building a complete set by date and mintmark.
