Description

1875-CC Twenty Cent, Colorful MS66
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1875-CC 20C MS66 PCGS. BF-4, R.2. Right Date, Wide CC. This delightfully patinated Premium Gem 1875-CC twenty cent piece displays areas of untoned silver-gray complemented by ochre-gold, deep blue-violet, and cinnamon toning nearer the rims on each side, all amid top-notch preservation. The surfaces are remarkably free of mentionable abrasions on each side and show a high degree of eye appeal. Some diagonal die-polishing lines appear in the lower reverse fields on either side of the eagle, and the strike overall is better than normally seen. This die pairing is "relatively common" according to Lane Brunner and John Frost's Double Dimes reference, but the reverse is particularly interesting: It was reused in the following year to strike the legendary 1876-CC twenty cent pieces.

This MS66 PCGS coin is one of only eight so graded, and none are finer (6/15). The last PCGS example in this grade we offered was lot 5206 in our FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2014), which brought $48,469.(Registry values: N7079)
