1876 Twenty Cent, PR66+ Cameo
Iridescent Peripheral Toning

1876 20C PR66+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. BF-2. Ex: Simpson. Magnificent ocean-blue, golden-brown, and plum-red toning endows the peripheries of this sharply struck Centennial-year type coin. The toning pattern is consistent with long-term storage in a Wayte Raymond holder. The devices are icy, and display impressive contrast with the unblemished and mirrored fields. The outstanding eye appeal and high quality within the grade are confirmed by CAC. The twenty cent piece was advocated by Western silver interests, but the denomination proved unpopular with the public, as it was often confused with the quarter despite a plain edge and a different eagle on the reverse. 1876 was the second year of production, and mintages were limited to small numbers at Philadelphia and Carson City. San Francisco passed on the denomination in 1876, and the final two years (1877 and 1878) were proof-only. Population: 12 in 66 (1 in 66+) Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 8 in 66, 0 finer (3/24).(Registry values: N4719)
