Lot Description

1878 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-35 (PCGS). Handsomely toned original surfaces exhibit dominant pewter gray that yields to warmer olive-charcoal at the borders. The 1878 twenty-cent piece represents the final year of production for the series and was struck only in Proof format (mintage: 600). This is an unusual well circulated survivor. A thin, thread-like foreign object has been accidentally slabbed with the coin and overlays the lower reverse, making this piece a candidate for reholdering if the winning bidder wishes to pursue that option at PCGS. Provenance: From the Francesca Collection. PCGS# 5306. NGC ID: 27H5. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
