The 1877 release of the Liberty Gold Eagle seemed like just another year for the nation’s largest gold coin denomination. While this unassuming release 28 years into the life of the Double Eagle seems like just another date, it is actually an important one as it delivers the final change to the reverse design in the Liberty Double Eagle Series. Right now, certified 1877-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1877-S Pre-33 $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagle Coin offered here comes in a plastic slab with an AU58 grade. These coins are known as About Uncirculated because the 58 numeric grade is the last before coins reach the Uncirculated range of the grading scale. An AU58 coin likely showcases near-full mint luster with only trace signs of friction on the highest relief points.
Between 1850 and 1907, the $20 Liberty Double Eagle featured a singular obverse design. However, two minor modifications were made to the reverse of the coin during this time frame, with each respective design becoming known as the Type I (1850-1866), Type II (1866-1876), and the Type III (1877-1907).
In the obverse design of the 1877-S Pre-33 Liberty Double Eagle Coin, you will find James B. Longacre’s depiction of Lady Liberty. This left-profile relief features Liberty’s head with a coronet crown and a ring of 13 stars around the design element.
For the reverse side of 1877-S $20 Liberty Gold Double Eagles, the US Mint offers another design from Longacre. The third iteration of the reverse visuals, this coin features the Great Seal of the United States with the extended engraving of the denomination (TWENTY DOLLARS) and the national motto.
