<B>1877-S $20 MS63 Prooflike NGC.</B></I> The issues of 1877 marked the debut of the Type Three double eagles, which had the full denomination of TWENTY DOLLARS spelled out on the reverse. As a general rule, the 1877-S is easily procured through MS62, but Select and better pieces are condition rarities. Adding Prooflike status to the list of prerequisites further narrows the available candidates.<BR> In fact, of the four Prooflike representatives certified by NGC, this MS63 coin is the single finest (11/07). The honey-gold and straw-yellow surfaces offer an enticing gleam, and the strike is crisp. Though the fields and portrait show a number of light abrasions, the overall visual appeal is surprisingly strong for the grade assigned.<BR><I>From The New York Eye Appeal Collection, Part Three.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
