Description
1878 Twenty Cent Piece, PR65
Low-Mintage, Proof-Only Issue
1878 20C PR65 NGC. The low mintage 1878 is a key issue in
the short-lived twenty cent series and one that is pursued by
collectors in all grades. While the official mintage of the 1878
Twenty Cent piece was 760 pieces (all proofs), only 600 coins were
actually sold, and far fewer are actually extant today in PR60 and
better grades.The obverse of this piece is deeply toned in cobalt-blue, lavender, and golden-brown, which is confined mostly to the fields, and the Liberty motif is light golden-tan. The reverse is mostly light golden-tan, with a narrow zone of deeper patina around the rims. The design elements are exquisitely struck, and the surfaces appear to be devoid of mentionable marks. Census: 27 in 65, 24 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N4719)
