1890-CC $20.00 NGC AU55+ CAC
/One of a small group of original "Euro" examples of this date that I recently purchased (along with the PCGS AU55 listed above and the PCGS AU58 listed below) and a coin that sure seems like it should be graded as a full AU58. NGC's conservative grade is your gain as you get a coin with the look of an AU58 at a discount. The color and surfaces are as original as you can find on a CC double eagle and coins like this have become very, very hard to find in today's market.
CAC has approved 25 1890-CC double eagles in AU55 with 29 finer. It is not known how many AU55+ examples have CAC approval.
