Lot Description

1876 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-64+ Cameo (PCGS). Fully struck and boldly cameoed in finish, this otherwise silver-tinged beauty exhibit halos of vivid reddish-gold iridescence at the borders. At 1,500 pieces produced, the 1876 boasts the highest mintage in the Proof twenty-cent series of 1875 to 1878. The Mint undoubtedly stepped up production of Proof coinage this year in anticipation of strong sales in connection with the United States' centennial. While survivors of this issue are plentiful by the standards of the type, few have been as nicely preserved as this handsome Cameo specimen. PCGS Population: 4; 25 finer in this category (Proof-67 Cameo finest). PCGS# 85304. NGC ID: 27H3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
