1877-CC Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).，Predominantly pale honey surfaces are fully original with plenty of mint luster remaining. Overall sharply defined, as well, with superior eye appeal for a lightly circulation Carson City Mint twenty. In 1877, to improve the overall appearance of the double eagle, Chief Engraver William Barber made some minor modifications to the obverse and one major change to the reverse by spelling out the denomination in its entirety. The first set of Type III dies had a technical problem that rendered them unsuitable for coining. It would not be until later in the year before 1877-CC double eagles would be produced, and even then at a rate far slower than in the previous three years. Barely 2% to 3% of the 42,565 coins that were ultimately struck are thought extant today, almost all of which are in the lower circulated grade levels. A solid almost Uncirculated example is a scarce coin indeed and worthy of serious consideration.，，
