1878 Twenty Cent Piece, PR66 Cameo
Final, Proof-Only Issue

1878 20C PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The Seated Liberty twenty cent piece was an ill-conceived and short-lived issue that ended with a small proof-only mintage of 600 pieces in 1878. The present coin is among the finest survivors of that tiny production. The outstanding visual feature of this coin is its spectacular toning. The centers are lime-green and golden-brown, while the peripheries are deep blue and violet. The devices are sharply rendered, and the fields are deeply reflective beneath the toning. Eye appeal is tremendous. Population: 4 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 1 finer (6/16).(Registry values: N4719)
