Derived from a modest mintage of merely 14,640 pieces, this 1876 Twenty Cent piece is a rarity. Obtaining a preferred high-grade specimen can be a challenging endeavor. Despite the lack of favor during its original minting period, attributed to its resemblance to the quarter dollar and the ensuing confusion, this peculiar denomination has garnered interest today. Specialists in the series and type collectors, eager to encompass this short-lived series, actively seek out this denomination. A pleasing near-Gem issue, this coin exhibits highly original features. Its surfaces display a light silver tone with an overlay of pinkish gold and subtle pastel light blue. Notably, a lamination mark prevents it from attaining the Gem grade, situated near Star 1. This coin makes for a fantastic addition for collectors in search of a type coin or a valuable inclusion in a box of 20. This particular near-Gem example, with its low mintage, fetched $2,880 01/24 HA, while a MS65 sold for $5,288 2021 LE.
