Description
1877 Double Eagle, MS63
Just Three Finer at PCGS
1877 $20 MS63 PCGS. Yellow-gold surfaces contain hints of
green-gold. A few scattered abrasions are present, but only those
above and right of the second 7 in the date, above the coronet, and
right of the bun warrant mention. Cartwheel luster gleams and
glistens across the surfaces, and eye appeal is simply exquisite.
In 1877, the Mint changed the Liberty Head double eagle design for
the second time. Liberty's head was moved slightly northwest, with
a revised bust truncation line, and the denomination was spelled
out on the reverse. This type is much more common than Type Two
double eagles, as payment of gold coins at par resumed in 1878,
greatly increasing mintages. However, the 1877 date is still
difficult, especially in Mint State. PCGS has awarded just three
finer certifications (3/26). PCGS Population: 26 in 63 (2 in 63+),
1 finer (3/26).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AY, PCGS# 8982, Greysheet# 9815)
