20 Dollars 1879-CC - Liberty head (KM74.3, Fr.177) - Obv: Liberty Head / Rev: Eagle and shield - Gold - XF or better, coinage of Double Eagles at Carson City in 1879 amounted to only 10,708 pieces, slightly lower than the mintage of 1878 at that mint and a sharp decline from the productions of the 1874 to 1877 era. The 1879-CC is famously rare in Mint State, leaving most collectors to seek out high-end AU pieces as the finest readily collectible examples. This impressive specimen displays light wear on the high points of the design elements, and almost all interior detail remains intact. The lightly abraded surfaces show frosty orange-gold luster and reveal modest prooflike reflectivity in the fields
