Lot 379
1875. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. Only 2,790 minted. Nice blue toning on both sides. The Twenty-cent denomination was issued for four years only at the Philadelphia, Carson City and San Francisco Mints. Examples from these deliveries, whether Proof or business-strikes, are typically collected as Type coins. We offer in the present lot a Gem Proof specimen sure to please the condition-census rarity specialist -- this piece ranks among the finer examples of the 2,790-coin Proof issue, with an NGC-certified population given below.
Both sides are naturally toned in shades of charcoal-gray to dusky blue tint while certain areas shine silvery-gray. The designs are very well impressed by the dies; devices lightly frosted with satiny mint luster, and the finish is, as one should expect, reflective. A lovely Gem Proof 65 coin. Pop 19; 13 finer, 12 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 5303) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
