Description

1877 Twenty Cent Piece, PR66 Cameo
Deeply Mirrored and Attractively Toned

1877 20C PR66 Cameo NGC. The 1877 and 1878 are proof-only issues, both tagged onto the end of the twenty cent piece's short life as a circulating coin. The 1877's mintage of only 350 pieces does not deter collectors and it does not place it in the "too rare to care" category of other coins that are essentially unobtainable. The 1877 is obtainable for a price, but it is rarely found with the current combination of high grade and Cameo designation. The fields are brightly mirrored and greatly enhance the rose and near-brilliant centers that are surrounded at the margins by crimson and occasional dabs of cobalt-blue. The surfaces are exceptionally well-preserved and approach technical perfection.(Registry values: N4719)
