Mystery Coin of The Carson City Mint #3 was created by LITAS
From the hints listed below, try to figure out what coin am I.
Hint#1 My feathers do not have a "tail bar"
Hint#2 My mint mark is not above the wreath.
Hint#3 My eagle does not "spit".
Hint#4 10% of me is made out of element 29.
Hint#5 I am readily available in XF to AU grades.
Hint#6 Although 1.5% of my mintage has survived, I do not recall
meeting any of my siblings in a grade above MS-61.
Hint#7 Two obverse and four reverse dies were used to produce me.
Hint#8 I circulated mainly in the West.
Hint#9 There are two varieties currently known.
Hint#10 Some of my siblings show test marks on their edges.
Hint#11 I am 6th in overall rarity among 19 of my close relatives.
Hint#12 Charley Tuppens collection has the only known
MS-61 specimen.
If needed I could give you more hints. Good luck.

After two months, the mystery coin was not identified.
The answer is 1872-CC $20 Gold Double Eagle.
Since this one was too difficult to figure out I will make the next presentation much easier.
