Radiant 1875 Twenty Cent, PR66 Cameo

1875 20C PR66 Cameo NGC. This is the premier issue in the twenty cent series, the first of its kind, deriving immense popularity from date and especially type collectors, given its proof mintage of 2,790 coins. In his Proof Encyclopedia, Breen suggested that only 2,200 of those proofs were released, with 590 pieces still in Mint hands on January 1, 1876. Just one die marriage has been reported among survivors. That variety is identified through random arcing striations in the field around Liberty's head. While the present Gem displays those features, there are no postproduction distractions. The untoned, silver-white surfaces have radiant, reflective fields and full, frosty- textured devices. Census: 7 in 66 Cameo, 4 finer (2/09).
