Description
1876 Twenty Cent Piece, MS66
Lovely Toning Over Semiprooflike Fields
1876 20C MS66 PCGS. CAC. From a minuscule business-strike
mintage of 14,460 pieces, the 1876 twenty cent piece is a scarce
coin in all grades, and quite rare at the Premium Gem level. The
public never accepted the odd denomination, and 1876 was the final
year of business-strike production. Proofs were minted for two more
years, and the denomination was dropped after 1878.The present coin is a visual delight. The reflective, semiprooflike fields glow beneath multiple layers of toning. The obverse fields are primarily a deep blue, yielding to gray on the central device. The same deep blue hue covers the reverse margins, but the center is a delightful gray-rose. The striking details are sharp, with full definition at the top of the wing. The only detectable marks are a couple of faint field marks, left and right of Liberty. Population: 11 in 66, 2 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)
