Description

Near-Mint 1877-CC Double Eagle
First Year of Type Three Design

1877-CC $20 AU58 NGC. The Type Three double eagle design was introduced in 1877, with the denomination spelled out as TWENTY DOLLARS instead of the abbreviated TWENTY D. This development marks the only significant design change in the Carson City gold series. The 1877-CC double eagle is scarcer than the other CC-mint issues from the mid-1870s, with a mintage of only 42,565 pieces. The date is definitely scarce in AU58, and NGC has certified only 18 coins in higher numeric grades (6/10).
The present coin is an attractive near-Mint specimen, with sharp strike details and only the slightest signs of wear. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces are minimally abraded and retain much original mint luster and eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
