Description
Exquisite 1875 Gem Proof Cameo Twenty Cent
1875 20C PR65 Cameo PCGS. The first year of issue for this short-lived type, the 1875 is not quite as "common" as its mintage of 2,790 pieces might indicate. Apparently 590 pieces were still on hand in the Mint on January 1, 1876, and the usual fate of such leftover proofs was to be melted. The current offering is well struck, with a deep band of vivid electric-blue and purple-brown coloration near the obverse borders, golden-gray color near the centers of each side, and orange-gold iridescence near the reverse peripheries. Both obverse and reverse exhibit pleasing cameo contrast, with deeply reflective fields standing out behind beautifully frosted devices. Exquisitely preserved and seemingly distraction-free, this is a simply splendid cameo Gem proof. Population: 5 in 65 Cameo, 2 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27GZ, PCGS# 85303, GSID# 5043)
