1890-CC US $20, NGC AU58, one of the scarce Carson City $20s with a total mintage of only 91,209 coins. Akers noted in 1982 that hundreds of uncirculated 1890-CC coins came over from Europe in the 1960s, all of which have long since found good homes.
To read the complete lot description, see:
1900-O/CC PCGS graded MS63. PCGS Population 2,121; Pop Higher: 3,629. Several die varieties. Five CC reverse dies left over from the Carson City mint when it closed in 1893 were modified in 1900 by punching the O mint mark over the CC mint mark. Various amounts of the CC show. All O/CC coins command a premium. There is no doubling of the mint mark, so this is not one of the R7 varieties. 12,590,050 mintage. I wasn't aware of thie interesting variety. Neat coin. -Editor
