1877-S Double Eagle, MS63
Virtually Unseen Finer

1877-S $20 MS63 PCGS. If a circulated first-year Type Three double eagle is what collectors are after, the 1877-S is the perfect choice. It is widely available in lower grades and is by far the most plentiful among the three twenty dollar issues for the year, given a mintage of 1.7 million coins. If collectors are searching for a high-end Mint State example of the 1877-S, they should expect to wait. Examples in MS63 are conditionally rare, and finer coins are almost never offered.

Both sides are free of the deep and distracting abrasions than normally plague this roughly handled issue. Warm mint frost over appealing peach-gold surfaces delivers great eye appeal. The devices are well-struck. A touch of incompleteness on the upper curls and bun is trivial. Population: 28 in 63, 7 finer (11/17).
