Description

Strongly Contrasted 1876 Twenty Cent Piece
PR65 Cameo

1876 20C PR65 Cameo NGC. The twenty cent piece has an enduring popularity for collectors, old and new. It is one of the odd-denomination type coins that has a story to tell. In this case, its issuance is tied to Western silver interests and the pursuit of another outlet for Comstock silver. Proofs are a popular item with collectors as they maximize eye appeal because of the unusually deep mirrors present on most examples. Seen here this reflectivity sets up strong contrast against the thickly frosted devices. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and problem-free.(Registry values: N4719)
