Liberty Double Eagles
1877-S $20 MS61 PCGS. This San Francisco issue is the most-available first-year Type Three design, by far outnumbering the Carson City and Philadelphia mintages in the number of pieces struck and survival. The 1877-S is readily available through MS62, but scarce in MS63 and rare any finer. This lustrous and original MS61 example displays medium orange-gold toning and a sharp strike, with lightly abraded surfaces and a few deep toning accents.
