Liberty Double Eagles
1877-CC $20 AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. A mintage of 42,565 pieces comprised the first-year Type Three output of double eagles from the Carson City Mint. The new design did little to attract collectors, and few examples were saved in Uncirculated condition. This Choice About Uncirculated example shows only a moderate amount of the bagmarks that normally accompany the issue. Soft mint luster remains beneath natural yellow-gold color with grayish accents and glimpses of orange around the raised elements. Sharp definition on the motifs exists despite slight wear from circulation.
