Description

1877 Double Eagle, MS62+
Semiprooflike Type Three Coin

1877 $20 MS62+ NGC. The 1877 double eagle is the inaugural issue of the Type Three design. The most obvious design change was the denomination being spelled out as TWENTY DOLLARS, rather than the abbreviated TWENTY D. of the Type One and Type Two issues. However, the portrait was also modified -- it is reoriented slightly in the field, and Liberty's hair curls are more sharply delineated. This MS62+ coin displays original yellow-gold and peach hues. The fields are semiprooflike, and both sides are well-defined. Grade-limiting abrasions are universally light. NGC lists 16 numerically finer examples (5/21).
