1877 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-66 Cameo (CACG).An attractive, expertly preserved specimen displaying warm peripheral color in iridescent blue-gray and reddish-apricot. The centers are lighter and range from champagne-apricot to virtually brilliant. Razor sharp striking detail is commensurate with the method of manufacture, but seldom do survivors of this Proof type display surfaces that are smooth enough to secure a premium Gem rating from PCGS, NGC or CACG. Bold field to device contrast shines forth nicely and further enhances both the quality and eye appeal of this stunning piece.<p>Introduced in 1875, by the following year the twenty-cent piece had already proved a failure in commerce. As such, the Mint suspended circulation production in 1876, although Proof coinage for collectors continued through 1878. With only 510 coins struck, the Proof-only 1877 is the rarest date in this series. Far finer than the typical survivor in the Proof-60 to Proof-64 grade range, this premium quality Gem Cameo Proof specimen is a real treat for the advanced collector.PCGS# 85305. NGC ID: 27H4.
