***Auction Highlight*** 1877 Gold Liberty Double Eagle $20 Graded pr58 cam By SEGS. This is an only slightly circulated proof, despite the fields showing a bit of fuzziness from handling and a few scattered small- to medium-sized contact marks on each side. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold with a slight tinge of reddish patina complementing, and the contrast remains sufficiently clear for a Cameo designation. The proof mintage was recorded as 20 pieces, but perhaps half that number survive today. Given the intense demand for proof Liberty twenties, this mildly circulated specimen will provide an opportunistic entry point for many bidders that otherwise would be unavailable to them. We expect astute bidders will act accordingly. Since only 20 proofs were struck, and this issue's rarity matches that of the most elusive proofs from the 1860s. David Akers asserts that fewer than 10 examples are available in today's market, although he concludes that an estimate of 6-8 coins is probably more accurate. 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
