Mint State 1877-CC Double Eagle

1877-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. This is the first year of issue for the modified Type Three double eagle with TWENTY DOLLARS spelled out, rather than abbreviated as TWENTY D. The mintage of this issue totaled 42,565 coins, and few of those survive in Mint State grades. Just three years ago, Doug Winter estimated a total Mint State population of only 18 to 20 coins, and less than 10 of those were considered better than just the basic MS60 quality. This example has typical abrasions on both sides, but the design is sharply struck, and the luster is excellent. Both sides have frosty yellow gold luster with hints of pinkish toning. Population: 7 in 61, 1 finer (10/04).(#8983) (Registry values: N7079)
