Lot 640
1878 Twenty Cents. Proof 60. A scarce, Proof-only date with a mintage of a mere 600 pieces. This example is brilliant white, with some cameo contrast noted on both sides, but a weak strike on the high points of the obverse and some wispy hairlines from an old cleaning. The reverse is cleaner and has a touch of milky toning over portions of the surfaces.
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800.
