***Auction Highlight*** 1877 Gold Liberty Eagle $10 Graded au58 By SEGS. Up for Auction is the Rare 1877 $10 Liberty Head Eagle in Near Mint State. The 1877 has the third lowest mintage figure of any Liberty Head eagle made for circulation with only 797 pieces struck. The 1877 is a bit more available than its counterparts from 1873 and 1876 and there are an estimated 45-55 known. This date saw limited circulation and it appears that many were shipped overseas. As a result, a number of 1877 eagles have been repatriated and have found eager collectors in the United States. Most examples are proof like and heavily abraded. This date is rare in properly graded AU55 to AU58 and it is extremely rare in Uncirculated with just three known. These are as follows: 1. MS61 PCGS. CAC. Baltimore Auction (Stacks Bowers, 3/2015), lot 6099, realized $64,625. 2. MS61 PCGS. Pre-Long Beach Sale (Goldberg, 2/2007), lot 2415, realized $42,550. 3. MS60 Proof like PCGS. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2018), lot 4299, realized $50,400; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2018), lot 3249, realized $43,200; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2019), lot 3901, realized $31,200; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 10/2019), lot 3285, realized $38,400 (designated as "PL"). Despite this date's obvious rarity, higher grade examples are reasonably priced and, in our opinion, the 1877 is among the most undervalued Philadelphia eagles in the entire series. This impressive near-Mint example exhibits sharply detailed design elements, with just a trace of friction on the high points. The moderately abraded yellow-gold surfaces show much proof like reflectivity in sheltered areas. Eye appeal is outstanding. I have included another au58 for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
