Description

Radiant MS63 1877 Double Eagle

1877 $20 MS63 NGC. The 1877 double eagle is the first of the Type Three double eagles, and as such it is a popular choice for collectors forming first-year-of-issue type sets. While available in circulated grades, it is rare in Mint State, especially at the MS63 level of the present coin. This specimen offers radiant cartwheel luster over charming orange-gold surfaces. The strike is virtually complete, although some die lapping is visible at the lower reverse on the eagle's right tail feathers. A few scattered ticks and dark toning spots appear on each side, not overly severe. Census: 13 in 63, 1 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)
