1877-CC $20 Liberty

Scarce Carson City Date. Tied for Finest Certified. 1877-CC $20 MS62 PCGS The design of the double eagle was slightly modified in 1877 by spelling out the denomination TWENTY DOLLARS on the reverse, rather than the abbreviated TWENTY D. of former years. The new design, known as the Type Three Liberty double eagle to present-day collectors, represents the only major design modification of U.S. gold coinage that took place during the years the Carson City Mint was operational. Simply put, this is one of the nicest Mint State examples of the 1877-CC double eagle that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. Undeniably original in preservation, both sides exhibit a bold blend of rich honey-orange color and billowy mint luster. Careful inspection as the coin rotates under a light will reveal subtle powder blue and pale pink highlights that further enhance the eye appeal. The finish is full and includes modest semi-reflective tendencies to an otherwise soft satin texture. The strike is razor sharp, and the surfaces are refreshingly smooth for the assigned grade.
