1875-CC Twenty Cent, Appealing MS65
Seldom Seen in Finer Grades

1875-CC 20C MS65 NGC. BF-2, R.1. The variety showing the date shifted left in relation to the shield point and Brunner and Frost's "High Close CC" reverse. This lovely Gem Carson City twenty cent piece displays typical weakness at the lower left of the obverse and corresponding point of the reverse. Both sides display pristine surfaces, satiny luster, and appealing iridescent toning in shades of rose and olive. The 1875-CC is the only collectible Carson City Mint twenty cent issue, and extremely popular as such. Only perhaps a dozen examples are certified finer at both services combined, discounting likely duplicates. Census: 35 in 65 (1 in 65+, 1 in 65 ), 6 finer (7/15).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2011), lot 3482.(Registry values: N4719)
