Did you know Stack’s Bowers Galleries is featuring one of the most famous and desired of all American coins, the 1876-CC twenty-cent piece, in our official auction at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in August? Anytime an example of this rarity is offered, it garners great attention in the numismatic community. Not only is it a great rarity with fewer than 20 pieces believed to exist, but it also possesses the added romance that accompanies coins from the historic and short-lived Carson City Mint.
Stack’s Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce that it will be offering a PCGS-graded MS-65 1876-CC twenty-cent piece in the Rarities Night session of the firm’s Official Auction at the ANA World’s Fair of Money. This example, a featured highlight of the E. Horatio Morgan Collection, will have been off the market for more than three decades when it crosses the auction block on the evening of August 15, 2019, in Rosemont, Illinois. It last appeared as lot 1405 in The 400 Sale held by Stack’s in January 1988, and will be the first Gem 1876-CC twenty-cent piece seen on the market since Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ sale of the F.C.C. Boyd specimen in January 2013.
