1876 $20 MS63 认证号25311261, PCGS号8976

1876 Gold $20 Liberty (Type 2) MS63 { PCGS-4 }. This choice example from the final year of issue for this type with the abbreviated “D.(..ollars)”, this fine Philadelphia issue exudes ample natural gold luster from both sides with minimal bag marks. Liberty’s face is problem-free and the reverse exhibits a well-struck eagle with excellent feather definition.

The 1876 is the second most common Philadelphia Mint Type II Double Eagle after the 1873 Open 3. It is fairly easy to obtain in any grade up to average uncirculated. Even choice (63 quality) mint state specimens are seen fairly often and it is only in gem condition that the 1876 is rare. Overall, the 1876 is most similar in rarity to such earlier issues as the 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1853 although it is available more often in Unc. than any of those four dates.
