The 1877 Philadelphia Mint Gold Eagle, a pinnacle rarity in the Liberty Head series, emerges from a mere 797 circulation strikes—surpassed only by the even scarcer 1875 and 1876 issues. With an estimated surviving population of just 50 to 65 coins, the certified total for both NGC and PCGS is a total of 81 pieces. PCGS records three low-end Mint State-61 examples, while NGC’s finest are two AU58 Prooflike specimens.
Continuing a trend from 1875, the Philadelphia Mint produced only a few hundred $10 gold coins annually, with the 1877’s meager output nearly rivaling the 1876’s scarcity, though the 1875 remains the undisputed key - and has sold at public auction for over $1 million dollars in a LOWER AU GRADE-! (See HA 10/22:3261 Carter Collection Specimen). This coin’s scarcity and historical weight make it a prime candidate as a "sleeper" in the series—often overshadowed by more heralded dates like the 1875, yet quietly holding comparable rarity and allure for astute collectors seeking undervalued treasures in the gold eagle market.
