Flashy Select 1876 Twenty Dollar

1876 $20 MS63 PCGS. Flashy luster and consistent apricot-gold toning ensures the eye appeal of this moderately abraded and conditionally rare Type Two twenty. This coin is from the Light Motto subtype, coined only in 1876 at the Philadelphia Mint. The Light Motto is identified by two long equidistant rays above the left (facing) wing. The usual Heavy Motto instead begins the left-side rays with three short rays. Presumably, the Light Motto would have been on all 1877-dated double eagles were it not for the Mint decision to spell out DOLLARS, which required a new reverse engraving. Population: 32 in 63, 17 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
