1875-S 20C MS (PCGS#5298)

The Regency Auction 34

Description du lot: This is a wonderful and high end example of this odd denomination. A real SUPERB GEM, clearly this coin has been lovingly cared for over the last 150 years! Both sides are boldly lustrous with a lovely, original, pearly hue that is dusted delicately over smooth fields and sharply struck devices. A band of gold, tan, olive, and russet hues graces areas of the periphery imparting a classic, old time collection look. While there is a touch of weakness, as usually seen on the reverse, the definition is much stronger than usually seen on examples of this date. The surfaces are of impeccable quality, and the eye appeal is spectacular for the type! PCGS 6, NGC 8. The last one to sell realized $19,200 in October 2018 and prior to that, one sold in September 2018 for $33,600. The current PCGS value is listed at $25,000. A single MS68 is graded finer at PCGS and was most recently sold for $52,875. This coin is one of the FINEST and worthy of a SUPERB type set. Cert. Number 37754648 PCGS # 005298
