Description
1875 Twenty Cent Piece, PR66
Superior Quality for Type Purposes
1875 20C PR66 NGC. BF-1, R.1. First year of issue for this
short-lived and ill-advised denomination. Produced as an outlet for
Comstock silver, twenty cent production consumed only a tiny
fraction of the silver mandated by the Bland-Allison Act for silver
dollars. Only 1,200 proofs were struck in 1875, and this is one of
the finest preserved examples. Each side is brilliant and the mint
frost on the devices makes one wonder why a Cameo designation was
not given. Census: 21 in 66, 1 finer (6/22).Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 12/2019), lot 3071.(Registry values: N4719)
