1877 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 PL (PCGS). Exceptionally reflective, fully prooflike fields set this special coin apart from the vast majority of 1877 twenties seen by PCGS. Softly frosted in texture, the design elements are also boldly to sharply defined. The Philadelphia Mint's output of double eagles in 1877 amounted to 397,650 circulation strikes, down considerably from the previous year. We estimate a Mint State population for the issue of 500 to 800 or so pieces, most of which grade MS-60 or MS-61 and are universally satiny or frosty in texture. Given that prior to World War II most double eagle collections contained a circulated example of the date, and even today PL examples are few and far between, the opportunity to acquire this deeply mirrored Brilliant Uncirculated coin deserves serious consideration. PCGS Population: 6; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 88982. NGC ID: 26AY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
