Proof Twenty Cent Pieces
1878 20C PR63 PCGS. CAC. BF-1, R.3. Ex: Teich Family Collection. Only 600 proof twenty cent pieces were struck in 1878, and some of those may have been melted after June 29 of that year, when the denomination was discontinued. This impressive Select specimen is fully detailed on the design elements on each side. Both sides exhibit mostly brilliant reflective fields, with a few accents of champagne-gold and cobalt-blue toning. The eye appeal is outstanding.
Ex: Teich Family Collection (Heritage, 1/2013), lot 4079, which realized $4,112.50.
