Lot Title:

1877-S Coronet eagle, ANACS AU-50
|
|
Description:
|
Whereas silver coins dated 1877-S are among the most common of the era, the gold issues are much tougher (except for the double-eagle), and the 1877-S gold eagle in particular is a very difficult issue to locate in any upper grade. In grades above AU-50, this low-mintage coin (17,000 minted) escalates dramatically in value, so that coins in AU-50, like the present piece, are often at the most comfortable pricing point for a collector. The present coin is pretty much devoid of color and has a thin scratch visible above Liberty's hair. As one expects from the grade, the surfaces have numerous tiny abrasions, none of which commands significant attention.

Carson City is smartly represented in this gold-eagle trio, all three coins with pleasing detail. 1877-CC right on the fence between XF and AU, but has been modestly cleaned at some time in the past.... |
