$20 Gold
1969
1874-CC PCGS graded Genuine Unc Details
. Mostly
untoned with semi-reflective fields. A choice looking coin. Only
1,000 struck. In 1874, it was time for the Carson City Mint to
increase gold coin production. Double eagle output reached the
100,000 coin mark for the first time since the facility opened in
1870, with much of the bullion coming from deposits made the
previous year. In comparison, San Francisco’s much larger dou-
ble eagle mintage increased by 173,400, representing a sixteen
and one-half percent rise.
With Carson City’s growing $20 gold piece production, larger
quantities were shipped out of state though significant reserves
were required locally to meet depositors’ redemptions. Many
1874-CC double eagles extant today have returned from lands
outside of the United States where hundreds of thousands of all
denominations of gold coins were exported between 1871 and
1936. (
