Description

Appealing 1877-S Double Eagle, MS63

1877-S $20 MS63 PCGS. Many 1877-S double eagles were shipped to European and South American countries. While large numbers have been discovered in recent decades, most have been heavily abraded. This accounts for most certified Mint State pieces (nearly 1,700 coins) falling into the MS60 to MS62 range. Select examples are extremely scarce, and finer grade ones are rare.
The apricot-gold surfaces of this MS63 specimen are imbued with traces of mint-green and present sharply struck design features. The luster flow reveals only an occasional interruption by minute contact marks. This coin presents great overall eye appeal for the designated grade. Population: 21 in 63, 3 finer (3/09).
