On Monday, Sept. 15, an appealing Uncirculated 1876-CC Twenty Cent piece will be the star of an auction by Superior Galleries at The Tower Beverly Hills hotel. This coin is graded “MS-62” by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). The ‘CC’ mintmark indicates that it was manufactured at the Carson City, Nevada Mint. I tentatively estimate that there are between eighteen and twenty-six 1876-CC Twenty Cent pieces in existence, so it is likely to be a Great Rarity!
