Lot Description

1875 Pattern Twenty Cents. Judd-1412, Pollock-1555. Rarity-6+. Copper. Plain Edge. Proof-64 BN (PCGS). OGH. Obv:Similar to the design that the Mint used for regular issue twenty-cent piece production beginning in 1875, but with the date in smaller numerals and the word LIBERTY incuse in the shield as opposed to in raised letters. Rev:Similar to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue twenty-cent piece production in 1875, although with a couple of differences. The second arrow head points well above the first letter T in TWENTY and all three leaves at the end of the olive branch point to the eagle's left wing tip. Rich antique copper patina blankets both sides of this crisply impressed, overall smooth-looking specimen. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
