1875-S/S Twenty Cents, MS65
Misplaced Date, FS-302

1875-S/S 20C Misplaced Date, FS-302 MS65 PCGS. CAC. This is an attractive Gem example with soft, shimmering mint luster and lovely champagne-gold accents visiting the light silver-gray surfaces. Faint roller marks are noted on the reverse, but there are no post-strike marks or distractions to be found on either side of the coin.

Variety: FS-302, Misplaced Date, Repunched Mintmark.

Population Data (5/14): More than half of the grading events for the entire series at PCGS are of this common date, but attractive Gem or finer coins are scarce. Fewer than 250 pieces have achieved the MS65 or finer designation from PCGS. NGC reports a similar number of Gem or finer coins.

Heritage Commentary: A common variety, with this San Francisco issue perhaps seen more often with the MPD than without it. Remnants of a digit (most likely an errant 5) appear in the denticles beneath the primary 7. The mintmark is repunched with a tilted, secondary S beneath the primary mintmark.

Provenance: Purchased from Pinnacle Rarities (3/2010).

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 145009, Base PCGS# 5298, Greysheet# 213843)

Weight: 5.00 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
