1875-S Twenty-Cent Piece. BF-14. Rarity-1. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.
Delightful pinkish-silver iridescence is a bit bolder on the reverse of this smooth, satiny, sharply impressed Gem. This short lived denomination only lasted for two years of production for circulation, Proofs a little longer, but this was clearly an idea that just didn't work out. Hence type collectors and specialists of this series have few dates and mints to choose from, but thankfully a few of these were saved at the Gem level to delight collectors today. Here is a particularly nice example that will dazzle the eye with Gem surfaces and toning without breaking the bank.
