Proof Twenty Cent Pieces
1875 20C PR63 Cameo PCGS. BF-2. Seldom seen as a cameo, this is a spectacular type coin with profound field-device contrast. This first year of issue had a mintage of 2,790 proofs, but only the first few pieces off the dies show a cameo effect. The fields are deeply mirrored, and the obverse is nearly brilliant. The reverse shows just the slightest tinge of golden-rose color. Light scuffing in the fields accounts for the grade. Population: 25 in 63 Cameo, 36 finer (10/16).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2008), lot 333.
