Description

1877-S Twenty Dollar, MS62+
Boldly Struck Orange-Gold Example

1877-S $20 MS62+ PCGS. CAC. Type Three S-mint Liberty double eagles are perennially popular, although they have seen considerable collector interest in the last few years, along with the bull market in gold. This orange-gold 1877-S is certified MS62+ by PCGS, showing a bold strike like most of the San Francisco issues of this era, and generous luster complements. A few minor obverse contact marks account for the grade, including a small patch of scrapes near the last 7 in the date. A small dark fleck appears behind Liberty's hair bun. The reverse displays similar minor marks, but the eye appeal is strong. Population: 4 in 62+, 29 finer (9/12).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B2, PCGS# 8984, Greysheet# 9927)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
