No significant die varieties are known. The mint mark is placed fairly far to the left with the second about halfway over the serif of the N in TWENTY. The first C is higher than the second C.

The 1871-CC Double Eagle is most often seen in Very Fine grades. It is sometimes available in Extremely Fine with the typical XF example showing liberal marks and poor eye appeal. In About Uncirculated, the 1871-CC is a rare coin and most examples in this grade range are no better than an AU55. In AU58, this issue is extremely rare, and it is doubtful if more than seven to 10 Mint State coins exist.
