Description

1877-CC Double Eagle, MS61
High-End With Great Eye Appeal

1877-CC $20 MS61 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-B. Die lines from the first S in STATES aid in attribution. Double eagle production at the Carson City branch mint was well-off its 1876 high in 1877, with output decreasing by nearly 70% to just 42,565 coins. The 1877-CC is more challenging to locate than its predecessors and also represents the first year for the Type Three design with DOLLARS fully spelled out. Most examples fall in the VF to AU range. Mint State coins stand out as conditional rarities.

The warm orange-gold surfaces of this MS61 representative are predictably abraded, but quality for the grade remains excellent. Both sides are sharply detailed with a semiprooflike character that provides terrific eye appeal. Census: 9 in 61, 7 finer. CAC: 5 in 61, 2 finer (3/21).
