- Lot Description
- 1878 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-65 (NGC). CAC. OH. <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Deeply reflective mirror fields and frosty motifs glow with intense neon-blue, carmine and rose iridescence. A boldly struck and richly appealing example of this popular proof-only issue, one of just 600 specimens of the terminal year of the type, with no circulation strikes made. It has been our experience that proof Twenty-Cent pieces of this year, and also 1877, are much harder to find with excellent eye appeal than are proofs of 1875 and 1876.<br /><br />
