Exceptional MS66 1875-S Twenty Cent Piece

1875-S 20C MS66 NGC. While the mintage was a generous 1.15 million pieces, there were simply not enough nice twenty cent pieces set aside 135 years ago to satisfy collector demand today. Anyone attempting a type set must have an example, and few are extant in better-than-65 condition. This coin's strong suit is its exceptional mint luster. It dominates every other aspect. It swirls around each side and is only interrupted by a mark on the upper obverse and a cluster above the eagle's right (facing) wing. Both sides are toned light rose. Census: 53 in 66, 8 finer (3/10).
