Important 1875 Twenty Cent, PR66

1875 20C PR66 NGC. The twenty cent denomination was issued in response to a perceived need for small change in the West, although the real purpose was to provide an additional outlet for silver mined in Nevada. The needless denomination only lasted for four years, and two of those were only produced in proof.
Any Premium Gem proof twenty cent piece is a condition rarity, and this example adds eye appeal to its rarity factor. The obverse is light silver with cameo contrast and splashes of gold and iridescent toning. The reverse is darker with blue-gray and gold toning. Both sides are fully mirrored with pristine surfaces and bold design definition. Census: 15 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N4719)
