August 13, 2009 The 1879 Double Eagle [$20] coin was minted at 4 US Mint facilities: Philadelphia which is shown as 1879-P in this list, Carson City which is shown as 1879-CC in this list, New Orleans which is shown as 1879-O in this list and San Francisco which is shown as 1879-S in this list. To determine which coin you have it will be necessary to locate the mint mark. This mark is a small letter and is located on the reverse side of the coin just below the eagle. The letters "CC" are for Carson City. The letter "O" is for New Orleans. The letter "S" is for San Francisco. If there is no letter the coin was minted at Philadelphia. The values for these coin in "AU" condition are shown in the following list: Circulated Grade..........1879-P.............1879-CC............1879-O............1879-S AU55.............................$1,750.............$20,000...........$62,500............$1,900
