Description
Elusive Deep Cameo 1876
Twenty Cent Piece, PR64
1876 20C PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. Twenty cent pieces were one
of the unwanted orphans of 19th century numismatics. Ill conceived
and too similar to quarters in size, this interesting series only
lasted for four years, from 1875 through 1878. There are more than
500 survivors of the 1876 issue graded by NGC and PCGS, from a
original proof mintage of 1,260 pieces, but only eight of those
coins receive the Deep (or Ultra) Cameo designation as a part of
their grade. This piece is one of only three Deep Cameo pieces at
PCGS. Well struck and carefully preserved, this specimen displays
watery fields and fully frosted devices. A few faint hairlines in
the fields apparently preclude a Gem assessment, but the Deep Cameo
contrast on both sides is intense and visually compelling.
Population: 1 in 64 Deep Cameo, 2 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27H3, PCGS# 95304, GSID# 5047)
