Lot Description

1877 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-58 (NGC). Blended blue, violet, and pearl-gray surfaces. Sharply struck in all areas. The 1877 is a scarce Proof-only issue having a scant mintage of just 510 pieces, the lowest production figure of the denomination; by contrast, the extremely rare 1876-CC had a mintage of 10,000 pieces, but it's doubtful that more than a few were ever issued. PCGS# 5305.
