Popular 1877-CC Liberty Twenty, MS61

1877-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. The 1877-CC Liberty Head double eagle is the first issue of the Type Three design struck at the Carson City Mint. The trend of low mintages at this facility continued in 1877, with only 42,565 pieces coined. This issue has surfaced in quantity in European holdings over the years, and examples in circulated grades are not too difficult to locate. However, specimens in Mint State grades are rare and Gems are virtually unknown.
The present coin is a pleasing example from this fabled mint. Sharply struck , with lustrous surfaces and bright yellow-gold color. Some scattered handling marks are consistent with the grade. Population: 16 in 61, 6 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AZ, PCGS# 8983, Greysheet# 9926)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
