Sharply Contrasted 1876 Twenty Cent Piece, PR66 Cameo

1876 20C PR66 Cameo NGC. Lavish cameo contrast is observed on each side of this well struck Premium Gem proof. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the contrast is borderline Ultra Cameo. Close examination of the surfaces shows a few light die striations, the cause of the exceptionally deep, watery proof fields seen on each side. This coin has been carefully preserved over the years and is notably free from contact marks. The 1876 twenty cent piece has a low business strike mintage of only 14,640 pieces. In proof format it is not all that available either, but it has the distinction of having the largest proof mintage in this short-lived series, a meager 1,260 coins. Census: 11 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
