Description
1878 Twenty Cent, PR63
Colorfully Toned, Deep Mirrors
1878 20C PR63 PCGS. BF-1, R.3. Dappled blue, vermillion, and
gold toning greets the eye on this Select 1878 proof double dime.
The twenty cent denomination came to a merciful end with this
proof-only issue. The twenty cent pieces were never embraced by the
public, while the coin's similarity to the quarter dollar in size
and appearance caused considerable confusion. Still, the
short-yet-challenging series is much more appreciated by today's
collectors. This well-struck, colorful proof represents a fitting
finale to a well-formed collection. Only 600 proofs were
struck.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27H5, PCGS# 5306, Greysheet# 5051)
