Proof Twenty Cent Pieces
1878 20C PR60 NGC. BF-1, R.3. A single die pair struck the entire production of 600 pieces for this proof-only issue. Muted deep-gray patina covers the entirety of each side. The design elements are well-struck, as expected, though we note a touch of softness on Liberty's head. Myriad marks, including scattered ticks and wispy flaws, explain the grade. A collectible example of this challenging, final-year twenty cent emission.
