A breathtakingly beautiful example that is strongly suggestive of an even higher grade. The surfaces are vividly toned in deep rose-gold patina. Mirrored and reflective, the fields form a splendid backdrop to devices that are fully struck and satiny in texture. Unlike many low mintage gold dollars from the 1880s, the 1877 was not saved in significant quantities by contemporary numismatists. As such, survivors from a circulation strike delivery of 3,900 coins are scarce to rare throughout the numismatic grading scale. With superior quality and eye appeal, this outstanding Choice Mint State example comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced gold cabinet.,PCGS# 77578.
