3-piece Gold Clad Carson City Proof Set

In 1870, after much controversy, the Carson City Mint opened its doors and struck its very first gold coins: the 1870 $20 Double Eagle, $10 Eagle and $5 Half Eagle, the first gold coins to ever bear the coveted “CC” mint mark. Today these three coins are so sought after by collectors that rare examples recently sold at auction for more than half a million dollars!Each proof is crafted to the highest quality standards and is in Gem Proof condition. They are clad in a total of 27 mg. of pure 24KT gold. And each piece has been expertly struck to produce the exacting detail and mirrored surfaces discriminating collectors demand. Set comes complete with Certificate of Authenticity and deluxe blue velvet collector’s case.
