Lot 1343
1878 Twenty Cents. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Light gold toning near the edges. Blue and gold reverse toning at the edges. Meticulous strike on every device, including Liberty and shield, eagle feathers and all legends. The stars come to needle-sharp points as well. The agreeable example offered here not only shatters the normally seen striking woes, but its sparkling surfaces border on Proof 65 quality in many ways. In fact, only scattered light hairlines preclude that grade. Last of the twenty-centers. A Proof-only issue. Only 600 struck in Proof. Pop 13; 3 in 65 CAM, 2 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 85306) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
