Twenty Cent Pieces
1875 20C MS63 NGC. BF-1, R.1. Deep autumn-brown and cobalt-blue toning embraces this sharply struck and minimally marked representative. According to Brunner and Frost, BF-1 first struck commercial pieces, then was used to coin proofs, and later again produced business pieces. The present semiprooflike example was likely among the latter coined.
