We are pleased to present this rare and historic 1885-CC $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle, certified AU50 by PCGS. Coins from the famed Carson City Mint have long been celebrated for their low mintages and rich history tied to the Wild West and the Nevada silver boom.
With a mintage of only 9,450 coins, the 1885-CC $20 Liberty Double Eagle is among the scarcest Carson City gold issues. Surviving examples are highly coveted by collectors, especially in attractive circulated grades like this AU50 specimen.
Despite light circulation, this coin retains bold design details, showcasing Lady Liberty’s elegant profile on the obverse and the majestic heraldic eagle on the reverse. A warm, original patina adds to its charm, making it an exceptional example for its grade.
The Carson City Mint was established to handle the influx of precious metals from the Comstock Lode and surrounding mines. By 1885, production was dwindling as the resources fueling the mint’s operations were nearly exhausted. The 1885-CC Double Eagle serves as a testament to this pivotal time in U.S. history.
