I love this recent acquisition.

1882-CC $20 MS61 NGC. Variety 1-A. The second C in the mintmark is positioned lower than the first, distinguishing this variety from the other die marriage used to strike 39,140 double eagles in 1882. Both variants share a common obverse with a diagnostic vertical die gouge in front of Liberty's eye. The 1882-CC is a very scarce issue across all Uncirculated grade levels and becomes rare in MS62. Only a couple of coins are known to survive in MS63, about 15 grade points higher than the average example at NGC and PCGS. 

Bright mint frost emanates from this light orange-gold representative. A uniformly strong strike appears on the obverse stars, Liberty's curls, and the eagle's feathers. Numerous small abrasions are peppered over each side and explain the grade, but none merit individual attention.
