The 1877 $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle is a dramatic artifact of American numismatic history from the post-Civil War era. NGC has graded 177 as MS62 with 24 finer.
Minted at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features Liberty's iconic profile on the obverse, designed by James B. Longacre, with "LIBERTY" inscribed upon her coronet. The reverse showcases a quirky yet majestic eagle with wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing national strength and peace.
Struck in .900 fine gold, the Double Eagle served as a cornerstone of banking and international trade during the Gilded Age. The 1877 issue stands out for its sharp strike and lustrous surfaces, particularly in higher grades. NGC certification at MS-62 confirms its uncirculated condition, retaining substantial original mint brilliance and minimal marks. This coin embodies the economic optimism of Reconstruction America, circulating widely in global commerce before many were melted down.
