1875-S Twenty Cent, Stunning MS67
A Type Set Essential

1875-S 20C MS67 PCGS. BF-3, R.5. The obverse shows the date far left, 1 point of the shield directly atop the right side of the 1 and a small die crack in the denticles above stars 2 and 3. The reverse on this rare die pair always shows weakness, quite noticeable on this stunning Superb Gem, on the tops of TED STA in particular. Some weakness also appears on the two E's in the denomination. Parallel die striations from the planchet production process, as made at the Mint, appear on the reverse fields and the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing. Beyond these technical quibbles, however, the fact remains that there are no post-Mint distractions of any mentionable sort. Gorgeous frosty luster complements tinges of amber-gold and pale sage on both sides. The 1875-S is, of course, by far the most available issue in the short-lived twenty cent series, and this is one of the finest survivors, a virtual necessity for many fine 19th type collectors. Population: 6 in 67, 1 finer (9/20).(Registry values: N7079)
