1875. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo PQ. CAC Approved. From the first year of the short-lived series, one of 1,200 pieces struck in the proof format -- evidently collector demand was strong for the new denomination. The following year, 1876, the demand for proofs rose slightly being our nation's Centennial year as 1,500 were coined. Proofs only were struck in the final two years of the denomination, 1877 and 1878, without any more circulation strikes. This is an attractive pale lilac example with frosty motifs and nicely reflective fields. The toning deepens somewhat toward the rims on each side. Choice and appealing. Pop 20; 12 finer, 9 in 65, 3 in 66 (PCGS # 85303) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400. Ex: The Agora Collection. Categories: Twenty Cent Pieces
