Lot Description

The 1877 date in the twenty-cent series, represented by a Proof-only issue, has the lowest mintage of the type with a mere 510 coins struck. A portion of the mintage is thought to have been melted after going unsold to collectors, resulting in an even more scant net mintage of about 350 pieces. The present offering is for a pretty Choice survivor that is fully struck with brilliant silver-white surfaces.
